Astronomer

you hngu university astrology

Hi
To be an astronaut at an organisation like NASA, you need to have grit and determination. Take a look at the following link.

Can you please clear your question.

To become astronaut you will have to become a Pilot or Flight Engineer. Opportunities to become Astronaut are very few ( you can count them on fingers). In India astronauts were inducted from Fighter branch of Indian Air Force. I will recommend that complete Aeronautical Engineering degree and learn to fly. You can then apply to organisations such as NASA to fulfill your dream.

On space mission different roles are performed by different members. Major functions are Pilot, Flight Engineer, Mission Commander and Payload Specialists. During some mission a Mission Specialist may be on board. A Mission Specialist is assigned to a limited field of the mission, such as for medical or technical experiments. If you want to be a Mission specialist you will have achieve excellence in your scientific profession beside pilot training and experience. In India astronauts were inducted from Fighter branch of Indian Air Force.

Hello Unni,
Job opportunities mainly revolves around research in organizations such as NASA and teaching positions. In depth knowledge in mathematics, computers, statistics and physics and excellent academic grades are must for job prospects in US. A PhD is also important for an astrophysicist.

Aim for a B Sc in Physics followed by Post Graduation in Astro Physics/Physics with a PhD. A few IITs and IIAP offer Integrated MSc PhD programmes.
