Seeking the Best Astronaut Candidates a message from our Administrator Charlie Bolden
|
NASA is on a journey to Mars, and it’s
hard to imagine a more exciting time to be part of our team. Scientific
exploration and technology development has brought us closer to the Red
Planet than we ever have been, and there are many ways for talented and
enthusiastic people to join us on that journey. One of those
opportunities begins today, as we open a new call for the next class of
astronauts.
At NASA, we’re working every day to
advance the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket that will
make take humans farther into space than ever before. At the same time, our
industry partners The Boeing Company and SpaceX are developing new commercial
crew spacecraft to return crewed launches to the International Space Station
from Florida’s Space Coast. These new astronauts will fly on American-made
spacecraft and help us reach an asteroid in cis-lunar space and Mars in the
2030s. It’s the biggest thing human beings have ever done, and so we’re
understandably excited about the many facets of this work.
The agency needs the most talented and
qualified astronauts to fly on those missions, and for the next couple of
months, we need the leaders of tomorrow to send us their credentials and let
us know what they can bring to the table for the next giant leaps in
exploration.
Last week, I was proud to announce
that NASA has been named the Best Place to Work in government in the large
agency category for the fourth year in a row, thanks to your hard work. We
have a compelling mission, carried out every day by the best workforce in the
federal government – and our astronauts are a very public face of that
workforce.
If you want to apply, among the
credentials you’ll need are a bachelor’s degree in engineering, biological,
physical or computer science or mathematics and at least three years of related
professional experience, or at least 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in
jet aircraft. To apply, you’ll need to go to USAJobs.gov
and search for the keyword astronaut.
We want this next class to be our
most diverse group of candidates yet. If you know someone who you think might
like to join our team, please encourage them to apply. And whether you aspire
to fly in space or prefer to keep your feet anchored here on Earth, thank you
for your ongoing contributions to our mission and for keeping the United
States the world’s leader in science, aeronautics and space
exploration.
