The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) selected the first group of astronauts in 1959. From 500 candidates having the required jet aircraft flight experience and engineering training as well as height below 5 feet 11 inches, 7 military men became the Nation's first astronauts. The second and third groups chosen included civilians who had extensive flying experience. By 1964, requirements had changed, and emphasis was placed on academic qualifications; in 1965, 6 scientist astronauts were selected from a group of 400 applicants who had a doctorate or equivalent experience in the natural sciences, medicine, or engineering. The group named in 1978 was the first of space shuttle flight crews and was composed of 15 pilots and 20 mission specialists; 6 of the 35 were women and 4 were members of minorities. Since then, 8 additional groups have been selected with a mix of pilots and mission specialists. In total, 268 U.S. astronauts have been selected in the 16 groups from 1959 through 1996; there are 98 astronauts and 35 candidates currently in the program; 110 astronauts have retired, resigned or been reassigned; and 25 are deceased. Several sections are included in this document to provide general information about the international astronauts who are participating in the U.S. Space Program. Payload specialists are career scientists or engineers selected by their employer or country for their expertise in conducting a specific experiment or commercial venture on a space shuttle mission. Information about them is not included in the Astronaut Fact Book. The space flights and statistics listed in this publication are those which resulted from the vertical takeoff of an American space vehicle. Astronauts listed are individuals who participated in the United States astronaut program including those who are in the training program. NASA accepts applications for the Astronaut Candidate Program on a continuing basis and selects candidates as needed.
