Being a test pilot and engineer were early qualifications, but now there are mission specialists from every scientific field. An astronaut has to be physically and mentally able to face the rigors of space flight, from G-forces of liftoff to the weightlessness of space. You must have a thorough understanding of your field of expertise, and be able to handle pressure. You would need to work well with others, because space exploration is a team effort.
