Entry Requirements
To become an astronaut, you must either be a test pilot, a scientist, or an engineer. Commanders and pilots for the Space Shuttle are test pilots who have graduated from either the Air Force or the Navy and have at least 1,000 hours of jet aircraft experience.
Astronaut Mamoru Mohri of the Japanese Space Agency in training Astronauts are selected approximately every two years. From about 4,000 applicants, only about 20 are accepted at one time. Many astronauts have applied several times before being selected. Any adult man or woman in excellent physical condition who meets the basic qualifications can be selected to enter astronaut training. Pilot astronauts need better vision than mission specialists. If you are interested in becoming an astronaut, it is important that you do well on standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT so that you are accepted to an accredited university. An accredited university is an educational institution, that has been recognized as maintaining standards which qualify graduates for admission to higher, or more specialized, institutions or professional practice.

Phase 1 Shuttle Mir
"Men who have worked together to reach the stars are not likely to descend together into the depths of war and desolation."
- U.S. Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson, addressing the U.N. General Assembly, 1958
Shuttle-Mir Phase 1 was a NASA program encompassing 11 Space Shuttle flights over a four-year period from 1995 to 1998. Its goal was to build joint space experience and start joint scientific research. It was called Phase 1 because it was the first phase in the International Space Station (ISS) project. Phase 2 is the first part of the construction process of the ISS. American astronauts lived on board the Mir space station with the Russian cosmonaut crews for up to 6 months at a time. The missions were highlighted by crew exchange and re-supply trips from the Space Shuttle to the Mir station. NASA learned how to successfully dock the Shuttle with the Mir, which was advantageous to our knowledge of docking techniques and systems that we are now using with the ISS.
Cosmonaut Valeri Korzun and Astronaut John Blaha A fire and a spacecraft crash during Phase 1 helped NASA learn ways of coping with emergency situations and helped lead to new training methods, safety precautions, emergency procedures, and structural and design concerns for use on the ISS.

Valentina Tereshkova Missions: Vostok 6 Valentina Tereshkova parachuted out of over 125 aircraft before she jumped out of the Vostok 6 . What began as a hobby led to her selection for cosmonaut training and her achievement of becoming the first woman in space. Tereshkova was born on March 6, 1937 in Maslennikovo, near Yaroslavl in western Russia. Her father was a tractor driver, and her mother worked in a textile plant. Tereshkova began school at age eight, but withdrew to work in the textile plant at age 16. She continued her education through correspondence courses. During this time, she parachuted as a hobby. When Tereshkova was selected for the Soviet space program in 1962, she became the first person to be recruited without experience as a test pilot. Her selection was instead based on her parachuting skills.

Yuri Gagarin Missions: Vostok 1 On April 14, 1961, the Soviets cheered and celebrated, parading through Moscow's Red Square. They gathered around the Lenin Mausoleum to see Premier Nikita Krushchev congratulate Yuri Gagarin on a job well done. Two days earlier aboard Vostok 1, Gagarin lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to become the world's first person in space. Gagarin was born the son of a carpenter on March 9, 1934. He grew up on a collective farm in Saratov, part of the Volga region west of Moscow, later renamed Gagarin City. He attended a local school for six years and then continued his education at vocational and technical schools. Gagarin began cosmonaut training after graduating with honors from the Soviet Air Force in 1957. He was one of 20 fighter pilots chosen to be a part of the first group of cosmonauts. In 1959, these men underwent intense medical examination and preparation for travel into the unknown. However, it would be Gagarin who the Soviets dubbed the "Columbus of the Cosmos."

EAC
Mission Assignments of ESA Astronauts
The year was a very satisfactory one for ESA with the mission assignments of T. Reiter and C. Fuglesang to Euromir 95, C. Nicollier and M. Cheli to the TSS-1 mission on Space Shuttle flight STS-75, planned for 1996, and P. Duque to the LMS-1 mission on STS-78, also foreseen for 1996. With the post-flight activities of U. Merbold and J.-F. Clervoy, who flew on Euromir 94 and on STS-66/atlas-03, all ESA astronauts were fully engaged in training and post-flight activities during 1995.

Training and Support Activities
In view of the expanding operations in Russia and the USA, the EAC support infrastructure was extended, and where necessary further developed, during the year. Specific solutions had to be found to improve the situation in the Russian Cosmonaut Training Centre and, in close cooperation with ESOC, to improve audio, video and electronic-mail communications between the local office and the other ESA establishments. Within EAC, growing experience led to the further development of a number of tools and systems in the areas of medical support, astronaut and family support, and training. Specific progress was made in the development of the software for the onboard Crew Support Computers and in the Astronaut Training Database (knowhow which was subsequently exploited during the Euromir 95 project). Technical work at EAC concentrated on further development of the Astronaut Training Database System, with a view to future distributed training operations, and on the development of a new distributed computer-based training system. The use of advanced technology for astronaut training was embarked upon by participating in a virtual-reality training experiment in cooperation with NASA, which demonstrated the feasibility of jointly training two astronauts working at different locations in Europe and the USA.

astronaut astronaut, crew member on a U.S. manned spaceflight mission; the Soviet term is cosmonaut. Candidates for manned spaceflight are carefully screened to meet the highest physical and mental standards, and they undergo rigorous training. The early astronauts had all previously been test pilots, but later astronauts have included scientists and physicians, journalists, and politicians. As far as is possible, all conditions to be encountered in space are simulated in ground training. Astronauts are trained to function effectively in cramped quarters while wearing restrictive spacesuits; they are accelerated in giant centrifuges to test their reactions to the inertial forces experienced during liftoff; they are prepared for the physiological disorientation they will experience in space arising from weightlessness ; and they spend long periods in isolation chambers to test their psychological reactions to solitude. Using trainers and mock-ups of actual spacecraft, astronauts rehearse every maneuver from liftoff to recovery, and every conceivable malfunction and difficulty is anticipated and prepared for. In addition to flight training, astronauts are required to have thorough knowledge of all aspects of space science , such as celestial mechanics and rocketry. Concurrent with all other preparation, astronauts must maintain excellent physical condition. Manned spaceflight began on Apr. 8, 1961, when the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth. Other prominent cosmonauts included Vladimir Komarov, commander of the first Voskhod spacecraft, Alexis Leonov, first man to walk in space, and Valentina Terechkova, first woman cosmonaut. Prominent American astronauts include Alan B. Shepard, Jr., who made a suborbital flight on May 5, 1961; John H. Glenn, Jr., who was the first American to orbit the earth; Neil A. Armstrong, Jr., Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., and Michael Collins, the crew of the Apollo 11 spacecraft that first landed on the Moon in 1969; and Sally K. Ride, America's first female astronaut.

Adventures in Space — for a Price Wednesday, June 05, 2002
By Catherine Donaldson-Evans
If you’ve ever longed to be an astronaut, floating weightless and catching a glimpse of Earth from outer space, a Washington, D.C.-area company can make your dream come true – as long as you have the bucks.
OAS_AD('Middle'); Space Adventures, a private company based in Arlington, Va., sends its patrons on $5,400 zero-gravity flights, where they experience brief bouts of weightlessness, and edge-of-space excursions costing up to $12,995 that let them see the curvature of the earth. Astronaut wannabes can also witness a shuttle launch for $1,150 or go through simulated cosmonaut training for up to $6,995. And if they have $20 million and at least six months to train, they might be able to blast off on an orbital flight to the International Space Station like entrepreneur Dennis Tito did last year. "The era of space tourism has begun," said Eric Anderson, president and CEO of Space Adventures. "Space is back in." The company is building an FAA-certified aircraft that can take passengers on $98,000 sub-orbital flights starting in 2005 – where they’ll travel to an altitude of 62 miles, experience several minutes of weightlessness and see Earth from outer space before returning home to earn their astronaut wings.

NASA says no decision made on astronaut's role in Mir spacewalk
  • Return to the special report main page HOUSTON U.S. and Russian space officials differed publicly Wednesday over whether NASA astronaut Mike Foale will replace cosmonaut Vasily Tsibliev on a spacewalk to restore electrical power on the damaged Mir space station. The U.S. space agency was close to a decision, however, that would at least permit the 40-year-old American to rehearse a spacewalk aboard Mir. The Russians ruled out participation by Tsibliev, 43, who has been ordered to rest. He is under treatment for an irregular heartbeat that was disclosed earlier this week. Speaking from their ground control facility in suburban Moscow, Russian officials appeared to race ahead of U.S. officials Wednesday by suggesting they already had a commitment for Foale to train and likely replace Tsibliev. The four- to six-hour spacewalk, postponed because of Tsibliev's health problems, could be conducted as early as next Wednesday, the Russians said. Without ruling out such an unprecedented role for an American in Russian space station operations, officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration insisted Wednesday they had agreed only to consider Foale's participation.

    ESA astronaut Frank De Winne, a Belgian member of the European Astronaut Corps, has been assigned to fly to the International Space Station (ISS) in November 2002 on a Russian Soyuz launcher. He will be flight engineer on a "taxi flight", a 10-day mission with the main purpose of exchanging the Soyuz capsule, which is permanently docked with the Station to serve as a rescue vehicle, if needed. A substantial scientific experimental programme will also be conducted during the mission, including experiments led by Belgian scientists. This assignment is one of the results of the agreement for European astronauts to fly to the ISS on Russian Soyuz launchers during the period 2001 to 2006, signed by ESA Director General Antonio Rodotý and the Director General of the Russian Aviation and Space Agency (Rosaviakosmos), Yuri Koptev, early this year. The mission is receiving strong support from the Belgian government, and in particular from the Commissioner for scientific policy, Yvan Ylieff. The agreement, which also makes provision for "increment flights", crew exchange flights which may require the astronauts to stay on board the Station for up to 3-4 months, is an important step in the development of operational expertise by the European Astronaut Corps before commencing intensive utilisation of the ISS for scientific research, Earth observation, technology development, materials science and human physiology experiments, with the launch of ESA's Columbus laboratory in 2004.

    March 22, 1996
    Web posted at: 10:40 a.m. EST From Correspondent John Holliman (CNN) Training for her 142-day stay aboard Russia's Mir space station took astronaut Shannon Lucid to a weightlessness- simulating airplane and to the Russian cosmonaut training center for months at a time. The 53-year-old biochemist has learned as much as any American about the Russian space station. And as she prepared to set up housekeeping there, her big worry was language. "That has been the all-consuming (task), what has taken up all our time," she said. "I don't think anybody has a concept of how difficult that is." Since all Mir's control panels are in Russian, knowing the language when an alarm sounds will be important to her. But perhaps even more important as she prepares to live on Russian-prepared food with cosmonauts who speak almost no English will be isolation from her family and from her culture. "I told my family on pain of dire consequences that every night I expect them to send an E-mail message," she said. ( 170K AIFF sound or 170K WAV sound Besides getting daily E-mail from her husband and three grown children, Lucid will have regular news updates. She watched CNN International while training in Russia, and has made arrangements to watch CNNI broadcasts live on a regular basis. (

    Welcome to my Personal Database of Astronauts and Cosmonauts who have flown into space and people who were accepted as Astronauts and Cosmonauts but didn't fly in outer space.
    This database only contains information on the flights that the Astronauts and Cosmonauts flew or to which were assigned. There is no biographical information in this database right now.
    First thing, Definitions
    • Astronaut - A person who has been launched into outer space by the United States. In this database, all Americans launched into outer space and foreigners launched on the Space Shuttle. This database also follows the practice of calling the Russian passengers aboard the Space Shuttle cosmonauts.
    • Cosmonaut - A person who has been launched into outer space by either the Soviet Union or Russia. For the purpose of this database, the Russian space program inherited the Soviet space program after the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union. The cutoff flights between Soviet flights and Russians flights are Soyuz TM-13 and Soyuz TM-14. Foreigners launched on the Soyuz spacecraft are also called cosmonauts. The three Americans launched on the Soyuz were called astronauts. I am uncertain about Dennis Tito, since his training was cosmonaut training, and flew into space without NASA's help.
    • Outer Space - The beginning of outer space starts at about 100 km attitude.
