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.
