NASA, the world's leader in space and aeronautics, is always seeking outstanding scientists, engineers, and other talented professionals to carry forward the great discovery process that its mission demands. Creativity. Ambition. Teamwork. A sense of daring. And a probing mind. That's what it takes to join NASA, one of the best places to work in the Federal Government. Right now, NASA's New Horizon spacecraft has collected the first science on a post-Pluto object. The craft has now twice observed 1994 jR1, a 90-mile-wide Kuiper Belt object orbiting more than 3 billion miles from the sun. If you'd like to join the ranks of the men and women responsible for putting New Horizon on the frontline, then find out if you have what it takes.
NASA selects astronauts from a diverse pool of candidates with a variety of backgrounds. From the many applications received, only a few are chosen for the intensive Astronaut Candidate training program. Including the "Original Seven", only 338 astronauts have been selected to date.
