Sir, I am doing BSc Honours in Maths from Calicut University. I am interested to become an Astronaut. Kindly let me know that after my BSc, what I have to do so that I can become an Astronaut? Please tell me regarding this asap.

Candidates should have a firm concern and thought to become Astronaut after completing class 10.

They need to choose Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as the main subjects in class 11 and 12.

Then, they should complete their graduation in Physics, Mathematics or Aerospace Engineering.

Then, they can go for higher studies.

NASA conducts a test every year to recruit astronauts and scientists. You can appear in the exam after completing graduation. There is also some physical requirements too!

>>Distant visual acuity: 20/100 or better uncorrected, correctable to 20/20 each eye

>>Blood pressure: 140/90 measured in a sitting position

>>Height between 62 and 75 inches
