This feature was originally published on November 4, 2015. Application requirements and dates have been updated.
Today, NASA announced that on March 2 it will open the application process to select its next class of astronauts! That news has gotten a lot of people very excited, including some of the best engineers and scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Most people don't think of JPL when they think of astronauts, but everywhere astronauts have been, JPL has sent robotic spacecraft ahead of time. That is true for Earth orbit and the Moon. But it's not just the idea of sending robots to explore new places in preparation for human visits that gets JPL employees excited. Some of these scientists and engineers want to be astronauts too!
So, do you want to be an astronaut? Maybe you've seen astronauts working on the International Space Station, or heard about NASA's plans to send humans back to the Moon or maybe you've been following the ongoing exploration of Mars and want to visit the planet for yourself one day! Whatever your inspiration has been, you know you want to become an astronaut. So how do you get there, and what can you do to make it possible?
Let's start with the basic requirements:
Master's degree in a STEM field, or
Two years of work toward a Ph.D. program in a related science, technology, engineering or math field;
A completed doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathic medicine degree;
Completion (by June 2021) of a nationally recognized test pilot school program.
Two years of related professional experience, or at least 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft.
