    Dear Afaq,
    It is not that easy to become an astronomer at NASA. There is a lot of academic physical fitness requires from you. If you see, the current astronauts are sometime double PhDs in science and technology field. 1000+ hours of long duration in-flight training, your vision, blood pressure, height, weight, mental conditions, yours and your family's medical history, etc. plays a big factor in this field. However, since you are in 10th, just focus on to complete your class 12th with high marks and take admission in B.Tech aerospace engineering in a college like India Institute of Space Science and Technology.
