Astronaut Candidate

Astronaut candidates will spend approximately two years training on the basic skills required to be an astronaut - from spacewalking and robotics to leadership and teamwork skills. Upon completing training, they will join the active astronaut corps and become eligible for spaceflight assignment. Until assigned a spaceflight, they will have responsibilities within the astronaut office ranging from supporting their fellow astronauts in space to advising on the development of new spacecraft. PRINCIPALES MISSIONS : Major duties of the astronaut position include, but are not limited to: Conduct operations in space, including Low Earth Orbit, the Moon, and beyond, and develop and test future spacecraft and habitats. Perform extravehicular activities (EVA) around spacecraft, space stations, and on planetary surfaces, use the robotic remote manipulator system, and participate in the development and testing of future extravehicular and robotic activities. Conduct research experiments (including those on animals), operate as a safe member of an aircraft/spacecraft crew (including flight planning and communications), and perform spacecraft maintenance activities. Conduct ground support tasks for astronaut training spaceflight missions, such as CapCom (capsule communicator) in the Mission Control Center. Participate in and be evaluated during mission simulations that prepare yourself and other astronauts to work as a well-coordinated team with the flight controllers in the Mission Control Center to conduct operations in the dynamic environment of space. Support development and operation of human spaceflight programs or other agency efforts as directed. Advocate for the interests and safety of all astronauts as part of decision-making teams considering current and future spacecraft designs, tests, and operations. Serve as the public face of NASA, providing appearances across the country and internationally, and sharing NASA's discoveries and goals. QUALIFICATIONS REQUISES : To qualify, applicants must meet BOTH the Basic Education and Specialized Experience requirements outlined below. Note: All STEM transcripts (official or unofficial) must be submitted. Foreign education requires proof of equivalency. BASIC EDUCATION REQUIREMENT All applicants must meet at least ONE of the Basic Education requirements to be considered for this position. Qualifying international Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is allowed as long as you submit proof of appropriate foreign education equivalency (see below for foreign education details). To verify the education requirement, you must submit copies of official or non-official STEM related transcripts with your application showing a related STEM major field and date conferred, or Test Pilot School (TPS) certification/enrollment from a nationally or internationally recognized program. While a bachelor's degree (or less) is not qualifying alone, you must submit ALL STEM related transcripts with your application. The following degree fields, while related to engineering and the sciences, are NOT considered qualifying: Degrees in Technology (Engineering Technology, Aviation Technology, Medical Technology, etc.) Degrees in Psychology (Exceptions: Clinical Psychology, Physiological Psychology, or Experimental Psychology, ARE qualifying) Degrees in Exercise Physiology or similar fields Degrees in Social Sciences (Geography, Anthropology, Archaeology, etc.) Degrees in Aviation, Aviation Management, or similar fields You must meet the Basic Education Requirement through ONE of the methods described below: Master's Degree: You must have completed a master's degree (or foreign equivalent) in an accredited college or university with major study in an appropriate technical field of engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science, or mathematics.

NASA is seeking the next generation of astronauts to help shape the future of human spaceflight. Since its inception, NASA's astronaut corps has represented the very best of American ingenuity, skill, and determination, carrying out missions that achieve the near impossible, expanding humanity's understanding of Earth, the Moon, and beyond. As NASA builds a Moon Base and advances the Artemis program, selected astronauts will undertake missions that will return humans to the Moon, establish a sustained human presence on the lunar surface, and lay the foundation for future exploration of Mars. The experience gained through these missions will help develop the technologies, capabilities, and knowledge needed for humanity's next giant leap into deep space. Astronaut candidates are selected from a large pool of talented applicants with backgrounds spanning science, engineering, technology, medicine, aviation, and other disciplines. Those chosen will join a proud legacy of explorers who have
