I am final year mechanical student in chennai. what is the procedure for become a astronaut for mechanical student?

Hello,

If you want to become as astronaut you have to study or get a degree in Aerospace Engineering or Astronautical engineering, so i can say to become Astronaut You should join the M.tech course in Aerospace Engineering or Astronautical engineering after completing your B.tech Program, also note that To be an aeronautical engineer one should have a graduate degree (B.E/B.Tech.) or at least a diploma in Aeronautics.
So i dont think you can go for that as you are from Mechanical Branch.

hello friend......
to become an astronaut after b tech in mechanical engineering you have give the entrance exam of the nasa , isro , and qualify them .......


so best of luck

i am second year mechanical engineering student in villupuram anna university.how to get the job in abroad.what can i do?

hi!

To become an astronaut you should fulfill the following eligibility requirement:

Educational qualification:
Candidate should hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in engineering, biological science, physical science (like metaphysics, astrophysics, etc.)or mathematics with excellent academic record. An advanced degree preferably a doctoral degree is highly desirable.

Since you are doing B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering you are qualified to become an astronaut.

Physical standard:
height - should be between 62 t0 75 inches
vision - 20/100 or better uncorrected, correctable to 20/20 each eye

If you meet the above eligibility requirement then you can apply for an astronaut's job in NASA or ISRO. After applying you need to pass an entrance exam in order to become an astronaut.

For more details visit the website of ISRO at: www.isro.org

i'm a mechanical engineering student. my ambition is to became an astronaut. so i join for a conversion course in aerospace engineering. after this i want to done M.tech. can i became an astronaut?

iam doing btech aerospace engg .after this i would like to do mtech astronautics .can i do msc astrophysics along with mtech,i would like to be an astronaut.if possible where can i get better coaching for both coureses.

For astronuat a college degree is necessity and of course the grades in too either it is engineering, biological or physical sciencd or mathematics.
If you do M.S it is well and good.

After college you need 3 years of related experience in your field.

after degree and some experience its time to apply for astronauts positions.NASA recieces an averge of 4015 application to fill around 20 slots for every 2 years.and they call around 118 applicants from total for ASB interview based on
experience
potentioal
motivation
ability to function as team
and communication skill.

If applicant intersted in pilot or commandor position then instead of mission specialist then you have to go for at least 1000 hours of flight time in commant of a jet aircraft.These type of training you have to face and need to do in future that why many Many applicants do not meet medical standards while others withdraw after learning all that the job entails. After all these incidents Astronaut Selection Board chooses final candidates and pass to NASA and their decision will be final.
Be prepare physically and Mentally as this not the 9-5 job which one expect but a 24 to 24 hr full dedication........

to become astronaut i think candidate should have degree in aerospace engineering.


till from mechanical engineering also you may become astronaut. but for this you have to do Master degree(M.Tech) is aerospace related subject. after completion of your M.Tech with some proper training you may become astronaut.


but for complete information it's better to contact with different astronaut center. they will provide exact details about how to become an astronaut.


best of luck.

after B.TEch u can apply M.tech with aeronotic .
than u switch ur line.
another way if u r eligible for indian air force than apply for it

Sir,im doing b.tech in mechanical engineering and i wants to be the part of nasa in any extent.so what can i do for getting job in nasa?

sir,i had clear my mechanicle engineering in cg.please tell me the process to become an astronauts

which are the exam to become astronaut?

Can electrical, instrumentation or e&tc engg apply for m. tech in aerospace??

aerospace astronomical aeronautics.............its getting really confusing.Basically we wanted to know how we can become an astronaut after pursuing our b.tech degree in mechanical.Please! i sincerely request to anyone who has really got some sort of experience & knowledge in this field to suggest me what to do.I am really kind of troubled...............some say you can do it.....some say mechanical and and aero/astro/aerospace are different subjects,so you cant do it.Please guide me!

I WANT TO BECOME ASTRONAUT . NOW I COMPLETED MY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO VISIT MOON.

Well i am in High school at the moment, can you please help me find programs to prep me for things such as astronautical engineering, and programs that are related to nasa. Please email me at [email protected]

Hi


An astronaut is a person who deals with the space research work, in fact has to go in space too for further study about planets, our neighboring galaxies, and etc.

Since it sounds a very herculean task, so the education and the qualification also needed for this profession is very high.


I am going to give you a step wise process, which if you follow, would definitely get you become an astronaut.


--> Firstly you have to pass your class Xth with a very high percentage so that you can take up science stream in your 11th and 12th.


--> Science stream is compulsory if you want to become an astronaut. Take up science, and then pass your Class 12th with as high a percentage as you can.


--> After that you should clear entrance examination of some very good college or university. Then take up any one of the following engineering streams : ECE, IT, CSE, EEE, ME.


--> Once you are done with your B.Tech, then surely you have to go for your masters. Sit for the GATE exam and then do your masters in the related stream in which you had done your B.Tech.


--> After that you would be eligible to apply for the astronaut jobs. Alternatively you can study further and increase your chances of becoming an astronaut.


So I would suggest you, bank on your concepts and make them as clear as you can.

All the best.

Dear, absolutely correct. I also follow this way. after getting bachelor degree in mechanical engineering we should jump to do aerospace engineering. OK. try to see Dr. Kalpana Chawla's history. She is an aerospace engineer and astronaut. I think her way i more better to get our great aim.


Thank you,
Mithush

hello....m doing mechanical eg. and further i want to study masters degree... and i want to be astronaut,,, and for that what i have to do ...can i do m .tech in aerospace eg. does it happens or does it helps....or if i will choose m.tech ..in desgining...will it helps then also....for be a astonaut ..please tell...obediently
and what is the procedure of entrance exams of nasa ....how we will get them?

Can a mechanical engineer become an astronaut?

I am a student of b.tech. In mechanical strean in 3rd year.i want to become an astronaut .so what way should i follow to fullfill it?

i am a student of 1st year (mech).i want to became a astronaut in NASA.what should i do?

Sir, i have finished my B.E in mechanical engineering. I wanna become an astronaut, what is the next step or course I have to do ,
Or I wanna become an employee in astro field what should I have to do .

If i did MECHANICAL enggenring and after thaf i want to do b tech in mechanical enggenring from INDIA can i get job in USA after getting 3 years experince i want to become an ASTRONAUT IN NASA is it possible for MECHANICAL ENGGINERS , biologica science can become an astronaut in NASA what we shoul do in biological science to BECOME AN ASTRONAUT IN NASA
