Australia hasn't sent its own astronauts, but some astronauts that were born in Australia have been in space with missions from other countries. Paul Scully Power was on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1984. He was born in Sydney. Andrew Thomas was born in Adelaide and he has been on several Space Shuttle missions and was also on Russia's Mir space station.
