  • Information Summaries Astronaut Fact Book
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Information Summaries Astronaut Fact Book Man must rise above the Earth – to the top of the atmosphere and beyond – for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives. Socrates 500 B.C. NP-2013-04-003-JSC APRIL 2013 PREFACE The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) selected the first group of astronauts in 1959. From 500 candidates having the required jet aircraft flight experience and engineering training as well as height below 5 feet 11 inches, 7 military men became the Nation's first astronauts. The second and third groups chosen included civilians who had extensive flying experience. By 1964, requirements had changed, and emphasis was placed on academic qualifications; in 1965, 6 scientist astronauts were selected from a group of 400 applicants who had a Doctorate or equivalent experience in the natural sciences, medicine, or engineering. The group named in 1978 was the first of space shuttle flight crews and since then, 14 additional groups have been selected with a mix of pilots and mission specialists. There are currently 50 active astronauts and 35 management astronauts in the program; 196 astronauts have retired or resigned; and 49 are deceased. Though most of the information in this document pertains only to U.S. Astronauts, several sections are included to provide information about the international astronauts and Cosmonauts who are currently partners with the U.S. Space Program participating in the International Space Station endeavor. The space flights and statistics listed in this publication resulted from the vertical takeoff of an American space vehicle or Soyuz taxi flight to the International Space Station.
