For Pilots. You must pass NASA CLASS 1 Physical Test.
FOr mIssion Specialists you must pass NASA CLASS 2 Physical Test.
The test are same but the intensity differs.
The basic tests include swimming 3 lengths of a 25-m pool, and treading water for 10 minutes.
Niel Armstrong trained for 5 and a half years in NASA's astronaut training unit.
Mr.Armstrong was only an astronaut. An astronaut has to do the missions that arer assigned to them. The president was the one with the idea, and the reason for that was to beat the soviets.
Neil was an accomplished test pilot (he actually had his astronaut wings before he joined NASA due to his work on the X-15 project), he flew combat missions in Korea, and he was an Eagle scout.
Astronauts go through a great deal of training prior to going into space. It can take years for astronauts to go through all the training they need, which includes learning to work in zero gravity and going through a variety of realistic simulations.
They weren't weightless. They weighed 1/6 as much as they weighed on Earth. They were carrying backpacks that weighed about 80 pounds on earth. They compensated for the extra weight on their backs by leaning forward to keep their center of gravity centered above their feet so they wouldn't fall over.
Before going into space, you need to undergo rigorous physical and psychological evaluations to ensure your health and readiness for space travel. You also need to undergo extensive training on spacecraft operations, emergency procedures, and other necessary skills for space missions. Additionally, understanding the risks associated with space travel, such as radiation exposure and microgravity effects, is crucial.
An astronaut.
The challenges of being an astronaut include the rigorous physical and mental training, being away from family and friends for long periods, adapting to microgravity, and facing potential risks associated with space travel such as radiation exposure and isolation.
Yes, generally 12 months full-time of training.
Before going into career training, you must consider whether you would fit the job and whether you will be happy at the job.
Alan Shepard trained to become an astronaut by going through rigorous physical fitness exercises, simulations of space missions, flight training in various aircraft, and studying spacecraft systems. He also underwent extensive medical evaluations to ensure he was in optimal health for spaceflight. Additionally, he participated in survival training in case of emergency landings.
An astrologist maybe. Some astronomers study space without going to space lol
Two ways of going to the International Space Station Would be to become a professional astronaut / cosmonaut or to be a space tourist (you need to be able to pay about 30 millions dollars and pass a multitude of physicals and the 6 to 8 month cosmonaut training is Russias Star City).
operate or work aboard space craft
It helps to get prepared and energize the players before going into the field of play
Of course, that's part of their job!
