What is the establishment of NASA astronauts? Does it belong to NASA or the US military?

The establishment of NASA astronauts does not belong to the US military, but is compiled by NASA alone. This system is open to the whole American society, that is to say, ordinary people can become astronauts as long as they pass space knowledge and apply for exams. Although NASA is recruiting for the whole United States, the recruitment qualifications are completely open. However, the recruitment conditions and assessment are very strict, and not any college student can become an astronaut. This is the reason why the number of astronauts of NASA is not enough.

0 1. There are three conditions that need to be met to be selected into NASA's astronaut brigade.

The first condition is to participate in doctoral work in the field of science for more than two years. This condition is not too difficult, but some scientists are qualified. The second condition is to have a medical degree, which is of little use to astronauts. But there must be. The third condition is to have two years of aviation driving experience, that is, to fly a plane. The most basic thing is that the flight time of jet plane exceeds 1000 hours.

The real difficulty in becoming a NASA astronaut is to pass the long-term flight test of NASA.

The so-called NASA flight test is to carry out space simulation flight test. Include space shuttle and space station simulation module. These tests are not affordable for ordinary people, but also undergo weightless flight and high-speed flight tests. If you don't have enough physical strength, you will vomit, and even faint in severe cases. This is the main reason why most of them can be intercepted outside the threshold of NASA astronauts.

03. NASA astronauts have high entry threshold, high income and high risks.

In 20 1800, there were more than 1800 astronauts who met the application requirements, of whom only 12 passed the exam, and most of them failed the flight exam. The body cannot adapt to weightlessness and high-speed flight. Astronauts who really go to work in space also have to bear great risks, and they can't return to Earth for a long time, in case the instruments of the space station break down. All they wait for is death.
