hello,i want to become an astronaut. i cant do 11 12 sci.,i am doing Diploma so what i have to do after diploma to an astronaut.Thanks.

Astronuat is something whose preparation starts from scrap

• read everthing you can get your hands on about astronauts,space and whatever field you want to work in.
• 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 u have to join isro (indian space research orgnisation) ,from ther only you can achieve your goal.

Is a diploma enough for a astronout??? After diploma what should i do?

hi,
what you just need to do is after your diploma join B.E aeronautical engineering in a well infra-structured college and come out with a good marks. Then write ISRO entrance exam. for that you need to get a good knowledge in various categories such as general knowledge then current issues and must be very strong in your core i.e Aeronautics.
All the best.

Which Diploma you want to learn

Helo! I am doing Diploma in E n TC and after that i want to go for becoming astronaut?
so what should i do after diploma what are the qualifications needed for it?

which field we are choose in diploma to become a astronaut

Is there 12th certificate necessary to apply for nasa? And if I am doing diploma in mechanics nasa can accept me?

After doing your diploma you should go for engineering in one of those college which offers direct admission into 2nd year to diploma candidates.
After this you must ensure that you have taken admission for the aeronautical engineering course or atleast the mechanical engineering course.
After this you will have to start reading and studying all about astronauts, theIr work , life etc.
You must join a space firm like ISRO as an engineer and walk your ranks up to become eligible for an astronaut.
It only happens after you give a lot of tests and exams both physical and mental.
