Becoming a space Scientist after class 10th will depend on your academic performances. You have to take PCM stream in your class 11th and after class 12th, you can go for graduation in subjects like physics or maths.

You can also opt for engineering, but physics and astrophysics is the best option. Once you have got qualification in physics, you can apply for job at various space agencies around the world.

Degree and education field of study required to become a space scientist is Doctoral degree in Astronomy.
So, you have to complete your 12th standard, graduation in physics/ Astrophysics, post graduation in Physics/ Astrophysics and Doctoral Degree in Astronomy, then after you will become a Space Scientist. And all these courses you have to complete with high percentile.
