Is this the career for you? JOB PROFILES Weekly feature

Astronauts are trained to fly or be crew members on spacecraft. If you want to become one of the chosen few and use your technological and scientific skills to explore space, then this could be a brilliant career to aim for. To be an astronaut, you'll need a high level of physical fitness to help you cope with life while in space, like the cramped living conditions and the effects of low gravity on the body. You’ll also need to work well as part of a team, be good at solving problems and have the ability to keep calm in emergencies. To become an astronaut you will usually need to be aged between 27 and 37. You will also need to have a postgraduate science qualification like a PhD and/or experience of flying high performance aircraft, along with at least three years’ experience in your field of research or as a pilot

Opportunities to become an astronaut are offered through the European Space Agency (ESA), with the European Astronaut Corps, working on the International Space Station (ISS). As an astronaut your duties would normally be split into two areas: maintenance and repair of the spacecraft scientific experimentation and research In space you would need to maintain the spacecraft and make sure that the environment onboard supports life. Your duties could include: cleaning and testing air filters and air quality repairing, maintaining and testing oxygen production systems cleaning and maintaining water systems and testing for bacterial growth packaging and disposing of waste replacing worn or broken parts on the spacecraft installing or repairing scientific instruments and equipment in space You could also be involved in carrying out scientific experiments in space. This includes experiments designed to look at the effects of weightlessness on the body, or to explore how low gravity or ‘microgravity’ affects processes like crystal growth. For this type of work, you may be involved in: setting up and monitoring experiments on the spacecraft and collecting data carrying out experiments in space like taking scans of the eye, growing ice crystals or developing space robotics taking samples, like blood, from astronauts to assess their health communicating with Earth via satellite to transfer data back and send reports.
