Any adult
man or woman in excellent physical condition who meets
the basic qualifications can be selected to enter astronaut
training. For mission specialists and pilot astronauts,
the minimum requirements include a bachelor's degree
in engineering, science or math from an accredited
institution. Three years of related experience must follow the
degree, and an advanced degree is desirable. Pilot astronauts
must have at least 1,000 hours of experience
in jet aircraft, and they need better vision
than mission specialists. Competition is extremely keen, with
an average of more than 4,000 applicants for
about 20 openings every two years. Astronaut
recruiting occurs periodically. For more information, write
to the Astronaut Selection Office, NASA Johnson
Space Center, Houston, TX 77058. See NASA's
Astronaut Selection and Training Web site for more
information.
