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.
An astronaut should have intelligence, bravery and the desire to explore.

This depends upon where the astronaut is. Inside the International Space Station, astronauts usually wear light, informal clothing. If the astronaut exits the station to do a space walk or other such mission, the astronaut will wear an air tight space suit, in order to be able to continue breathing.
Astronaut is spelled astronaut in German.
