You are leaving out a HUGE amount of background information here. (i) where in the world are you and where do you intend to go to school? (ii) what educational background do you have? (iii) Why "Masters", since most people who do that type of work have PhDs?

But more importantly, you may have the wrong idea about people who are associated with institutions such as NASA. So before proceeding any further, read the links in this:
