How to become an Astronaut?
I am in Chennai. I study in the Tamil Nadu State board and I am appearing for the exams in 2016. I am going to write JEE Mains and other popular entrance exams. Can you help me decide a course to become an Astronaut or Astrophysicist.

Hi Yoga.
To become an Astronaut, you have to meet these basic requirements-
-Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in engineering, biological science, physical science or mathematics.
- Should be a citizen of India.
-You should be at least 21 years of age by the time you join. Age relaxation is there for SC/ST candidates.
-At least 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. Flight test experience is highly desirable.
After graduation, candidates can appear for the entrance exam which is held by NASA for the recruitment of scientists, Astronauts, etc.
I hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.
