Maybe you didn't make the cut or forgot to apply to be an astronaut in the European Astronaut Corps recruitment a few months ago. Well, don't worry. Here's a new chance to blaze a trail into space and possibly to the Moon or Mars. NASA is recruiting new astronauts for its 2009 Astronaut Candidate Class now, but the deadline is fast approaching so act now! Imagine being one of the first individuals to hitch a ride in an Orion spacecraft on top an Ares I rocket, or even better, being the first to step back on the moon after 36 years. Sign me up!
Deadline Approaching to Apply for New NASA Astronaut Class
HOUSTON — NASA's deadline for accepting applications for the 2009 Astronaut Candidate Class is July 1. Those selected could fly to space for long-duration stays on the International Space Station and missions to the moon.
To be considered, a bachelor's degree in engineering, science or math and three years of relevant professional experience are required. Typically, successful applicants have significant qualifications in engineering or science, or extensive experience flying high-performance jet aircraft.
Teaching experience, including work at the kindergarten through 12th grade level, is considered qualifying. Educators with the appropriate educational background are encouraged to apply.
After a six-month period of evaluation and interviews, NASA will announce final selections in early 2009. Astronaut candidates will report to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston during the summer of 2009 to begin the basic training program to prepare them for future spaceflight assignments.
