How to become an Astronaut after completion of diploma in textile engineering? I have the interest to become an astronaut but am not sure on what steps I should follow for the same? Can you please guide me to reach my goal in future? Hoping to get some good suggestions.

The procedure to become astronaut is very long and complex. You cannot become astronaut merely with diploma degree. First thing you should know about becoming astronaut is that it is a very lengthy process. It would easily take more than 10 year before you can become astronaut.

Now I am assuming that you have completed diploma in engineering course. From now on here is what you need to do.

Take admission for B.Tech in aerospace through lateral entry.

After completing B.Tech you will have to apply for M.Tech followed by Ph.D.

Next you will have to gain 3 years of related and progressively experience to become mission specialist at NASA.

After gaining the experience you can appear for NASA entrance exam for scientist and astronauts.
