#BeAnAstronaut -- Time to Apply - Pass the Word!

Do You Have What It Takes to #BeAnAstronaut? A few words from our NASA Administrator..



I am excited to announce NASA will accept applications for our next class of astronaut candidates beginning on March 2! We will need more explorers to take us forward to the Moon later this decade and farther into our solar system in the next. I believe many in NASA’s talented workforce would make excellent astronauts as part of the Artemis Generation, and I encourage you to apply.



A few new requirements must be met before applying. In addition to U.S. citizenship, NASA now requires a master’s degree in a STEM field including engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science, or mathematics from an accredited institution. And for the first time as part of the process, applicants will be required to take an online assessment that lasts up to two hours.



Even as our requirements are increasingly competitive, I have no doubt that you, or someone you know, will be among the handful of talented men and women we will ultimately choose to represent all of humanity on future spaceflight missions.



Additional details to #BeAnAstronaut including the link to apply on USAJobs will soon be available at www.nasa.gov/astronauts. If you’re eligible, I encourage you to get your resumes ready now and to apply online before the March 31 deadline.

please help us spread the word using #BeAnAstronaut on your social media channels


We need your help in finding the next generation of explorers!


Ad Astra,

Jim Bridenstine
