Every agency has its own selection process space (biksabi).

Specifications

Everyone had a career before being an astronaut, and he often targeting old NASA professional pilots with armies, the US Army has chosen the first candidates for leadership in 1959 by the air force, and it used to be an expert on jet aircraft and has a background in engineering, and was one of the conditions Can be shorter than 180 cm.

In addition to expertise in engineering and aviation, space exploration requires scientific knowledge and ability to apply them, so NASA began in 1964 search experts scientific fields such as medicine, engineering and natural sciences such as chemistry, physics, and biology to be astronauts, but today it disagreed Differing access to moon about Mars, and maybe even further.

Professional experience must not be less than your major three years to progress to the Agency (biksabi).

Abbe

Astronaut selection standards have changed with the changing objectives and functions of NASA, still flying and engineering methods can be followed, but no longer the only ways, there are two main categories of applicants to the astronaut profession (military and civilian applicants).

Application procedures vary according to the branch of the armed forces of the military that works for her because you apply through your branch, civilian space agency makes directly, in order to consider an application for the position of an astronaut must satisfy the following conditions:

Academic terms

Ask NASA to get patrons to a Bachelor's degree in engineering or the physical or biological science or math or computer science. Many astronauts hold Masters degrees or even doctorates in their field.

Some astronauts-like Musgrave (retired)-hold degrees beyond that, and if you need some financial support to make your choice of leading space possible, reassure because many astronauts had help from military or Government programs for academic qualifications required.

Must have very good health and does not increase your blood pressure on 90/140 (biksabi).

Practical and professional requirements

You must be at least three years of professional experience related to your major, the equivalent of at least one thousand hours of driving a jet aircraft. However, the master's degree one year of experience, a degree in three years. The notable exception to these requirements is teachers who have yet to collect technical Bachelor's degree, but they can qualify through teaching, even for elementary school students. The astronaut must possess skills in leadership, teamwork, and communication.

American citizenship is a prerequisite to work an astronaut the International Space Agency (NASA) but many astronauts programs qualifications in other countries.

It is important to note that the space agency has its own selection process, each willing to lead such a consultation space agencies to get more information, you have several options such as the European Space Agency, the Japanese space agency, Canadian Space Agency, NASA. Russian, Chinese National Space Administration.

Physical and health

Your health should be very good because in medical emergencies you will return to the Earth, so there will be special interviews during the selection process to find out whether the candidate able to physically and psychologically to work as an astronaut.

Blood pressure should not exceed about 140/90, and that the length is between 155 and 187 centimeters in General.

It must be near and far vision sharp, fix flaws by wearing eyeglasses.

Selection stages

Review the selection board NASA astronauts each year set a record of requests, 18 000 and 300 General requests 2016, could be one of the first footsteps on Mars.

The Council assesses the qualifications of each candidate, and then invite approximately 120 of the most qualified candidates for the Johnson Space Center of NASA in Houston, Texas for interviews.

Will call about half of the interviewees to return for the second round, once selected end astronauts must complete the grueling training period, you are no longer an astronaut once so far, there are two years of basic training, which traveled to become an astronaut.

The candidates receive a semester from the international space station and space flights and are trained to dive and stay in the water, and swimming tests, exposed to high and low air pressure, daily exercises to weightlessness, driving a Jet for a certain number of hours each month.

After training, once you hired an astronaut for your first trip, take the qualification for the job a few more years, start reading and then real simulation and normal size for forms in space, individually and with your colleagues in the staff.

This pioneer period is their meals, and store equipment and manage garbage and use cameras, experimenting, and communicate-figure emulator-with space agency for years, knowing that the model space flight until now only six months for not carrying the human body for most of it, but some Astronauts are trained for up to a year.

With NASA's plans for future space exploration, new astronauts will fly more than ever on lunar missions, and you might be the first to fly to Mars, so start training yourself and ask for help from your educational or professional.
