Want to be an astronaut? NASA is accepting applications for the first time in 2 years.
NASA is hiring its next batch of astronauts. The space-bound humans could go to the moon, build a lunar base, or even head to Mars.
NASA is opening applications for its first batch of astronauts in two years, signalling a return to the Moon and a focus on Mars exploration. The agency is seeking highly qualified candidates with a Master's degree in a STEM field or equivalent, three years of relevant work experience, and a range of exceptional skills. Applicants must demonstrate strong technical expertise, leadership, teamwork, communication abilities, and the capacity to safely perform demanding missions.
The selection process involves several rigorous evaluations, including drug tests, background security investigations, vision checks, medical and psychiatric exams, and a water survival test. Successful candidates will undergo two years of training, face irregular working hours, and earn an annual salary of $164,395. They will not be permitted to work remotely.
NASA anticipates announcing its new class of astronauts in late 2027, after receiving over 8,000 applications from its previous talent search.
