It is good to see you having a fixed ambition and goal in life. Being a space scientist is not an easy task. It is place which is fit for the best. There is no place even for the average ones. Hence you need to study hard and be practically sound. There are various courses after which you can become space scientist and work in the most reputed space research center - NASA.

The courses are :-
- Physics and Mathematics (in graduation level)
- Astrophysics (in postgraduation level)
- Astronomy (in postgraduation level)
You can also do Aeronautical or Aerospace engineering from IIST and then go to NASA directly after some years of service in ISRO. For IIST, you need to prepare and qualify in ISAT entrance exam.
