Nowadays, this is always months, and perhaps it will be years when we\u2019ll target to send people on Mars ! That\u2019s why physical and medical requirements to become an astronaut are so hard to complete. You may even think it\u2019s unfair, but your body must be adapted to the dimensions of space equipment (space capsule, space station \u2026) and NASA or ESA has to take as few risks as possible because in space it is difficult to treat a sick or wounded person.<\/p><ul><li>Your height must be between 1,53m to 1,90m (60,2 to 74,8 inches)<\/li><li>A normal weight is required, according to your gender and your age<\/li><li>You must have a satisfactory medical history. NASA or ESA will evaluate your muscular system, your cardiovascular system and your vestibular system (to make sure you have a good balance).<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-37f1a17 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"37f1a17\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a984944 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"a984944\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4266863 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4266863\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceloversclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/How-To-Become-An-Astronaut-2-768x432-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-54396\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spaceloversclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/How-To-Become-An-Astronaut-2-768x432-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spaceloversclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/How-To-Become-An-Astronaut-2-768x432-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spaceloversclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/How-To-Become-An-Astronaut-2-768x432-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/spaceloversclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/How-To-Become-An-Astronaut-2-768x432-1-410x231.jpg 410w, https:\/\/spaceloversclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/How-To-Become-An-Astronaut-2-768x432-1-730x411.jpg 730w, https:\/\/spaceloversclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/How-To-Become-An-Astronaut-2-768x432-1-270x152.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6008e13 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"6008e13\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7f196e3 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"7f196e3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7699b7 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7699b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Professional experience to become an astronaut<\/h3><ul><li>In addition to an university degree, astronaut candidates must have at least three years postgraduate professional experience\u00a0in a related field.<\/li><li>High knowledge in scientific fields is required by NASA or ESA.

Speaking russian is an asset for your application as you will have speak to russians in the International Space Station or in other future space stations, and during your training at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia. Also, you may have to pilot russian spacecrafts, as the Soyuz capsule. User manuals are not translated into English ! If you are interested in American, Japanese or Russian culture, it\u2019s also an asset to communication with NASA&#8217;s or ESA&#8217;s international partners.<\/li><li>Flying experience is welcomed but not mandatory<\/li><li>Psychological requirements : first, you must have a sound mental health. NASA or ESA expects the astronaut candidates to have a good reasoning capability and memory, manual dexterity, aptitude for spatial orientation and a huge concentration capacity.<\/li><li>Your personality must demonstrate a high degree of motivation, sociability and flexibility. A lack of aggressiveness and an emotional stability are essential. As said before, space missions are more and more long. You must be able to create and maintain a serene work environment with your international colleagues in a confined space.<\/li><li>A basic diving certificate is an asset, as your working conditions when you\u2019ll do an EVA (spacewalk) will be quite similar as when you are diving.<\/li><\/ul><div><strong>More on:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.nasa.gov&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1606832680433000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGKtUZ3dFqZxsiP7rKkB5AqfUytyQ\">www.nasa.gov<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.esa.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.esa.int&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1606832680433000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGex08361G_-Ia3QgkM2RncebSNXw\">www.esa.int<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How To Become An Astronaut?
