How long does it take for an astronaut to train before he goes into space?

Typically an astronaut must have at least a four-year college degree, and most have at least 2 years of school beyond that. Then they must undergo an intensive training program that typically takes a minimum of one to two years.

∙ 13y agoThere is no fixed requirement. Astronauts are chosen for their ability to function in space, and then for their qualifications in their chosen field. Most astronauts acting as mission specialists have advanced degrees in various sciences. This is much different from the earliest astronauts, who (while very capable technically) were mostly military officers or test pilots who had experience flying high-performance jet aircraft. Most of the current piloting positions require significant computer and engineering training.

However, if you're interested, I recommend taking lots of math in high school, and then enrolling in the Physics department at the university or college of your choice. Take lots of classes in engineering and computers. With a bachelors degree in Physics with a strong minor in computers, you'll be in an excellent position to decide if you want to go ahead with a masters or doctorate in Astronomy, or if you'd rather go into an engineering or technical position.
Either way, a degree in a hard science will enable you to write your own ticket in the future.

∙ 15y agoit takes 8 years to go to space for only one mission.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThe Selection process takes about a year, then training lasts for about 2 years, then mission specific begins.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoA degree in Astronomy would probably be ideal. It would be a good idea to look into taking some Physics classes, as well.

What problems can be caused by an astronauts bones getting thinner?
When an astronaut goes to space, the lack of gravity in the capsule or the space station will make his bones and joints very weak. A period of 2-hour exercise is required every day so that his bones will not shatter when he returns to Earth. Technically the astronauts' bones will not get thinner, but instead weaker. Problems like osteoporosis can be caused if the astronaut stays in space for extended periods of time.
