Hi Uzma:
To become a NASA astronaut, here are some qualifications you must meet . .
• Be a U.S. citizen
• Possess a master's degree* in a STEM field, including engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science or mathematics, from an accredited institution.
• Have at least two years of related professional experience obtained after degree completion or at least 1,000 hours pilot-in-command time on jet aircraft.
• Be able to pass the NASA long-duration flight astronaut physical.
* The master's degree requirement can also be met by:
• Two years (36 semester hours or 54 quarter hours) of work toward a doctoral program in a related science, technology, engineering or math field.
• A completed Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree.
• Completion (or current enrollment that will result in completion by June 2021) of a nationally recognized test pilot school program.
Astronaut candidates must also have skills in leadership, teamwork and communications.
I hope this was helpful. Best of luck to you!
