sir I want to become an astronaut tell me what I have to do . iam in 8 class now . pl... tell me
Hi Harsh
Good to hear that you have decided your aim at such a young age.
There are some simples things you can follow right now:
- You need to be physically fit, there are examinations, mentally strong and should have great stamina.
- You should qualify the criterion of height, a particular level of height is required for people to become an astronaut.
- You should possess great mathematical skills, and I am not talking about addition, multiplication etc.
- You should have good communication skills, you must be good at English because there are very high chances that people you will be working with will not even be from your own country.
- You should have a good academic career and team spirit because all the space missions are done in teams, and you should be able to work under high pressure and in cramped environment.
You will have to start focusing on your career once you pass 10th grade. One should choose Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as core subjects in 12th.
After you are done with 12th grade and you have gotten good grades, you need to focus on a good Bachelors degree from a recognized university. One could choose a course in Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, or Aerospace Engineering.
After you are done with graduation, you can sit for the exam, which is held by NASA for the recruitment of scientists and astronauts. Or in order to join ISRO one needs to clear the Joint Entrance Exam which is held by the IITs
Hope this helps!
All the best
