Hello,

I hope you are doing well,

To become an astronaut you must have :

• Education:

Get a bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, math, computer science, or a related field. Master’s or PhD is a big plus.

• Physical Fitness:

Stay super fit — astronauts go through tough physical and medical tests.

• Experience:

Gain 3+ years of professional experience or 1,000+ hours of pilot-in-command time (if you’re a pilot).

• Skills:

Learn teamwork, problem-solving, leadership, and stay calm under pressure.

• Training:

Apply to space agencies (like NASA, ISRO, ESA). If selected, you’ll train in survival, robotics, spacewalks, and zero-gravity.

• Extras:

Learn swimming, SCUBA diving, and basic Russian (many space programs use it).

• Mindset:

Be disciplined, curious, and never stop learning — space needs both brains and courage.

All the best
