NASA is a federal agency and military is under Department of Defense (DoD). Sometimes NASA may work together with military supporting some experiment in space but neither organization works for the other. NASA research has been used to benefit military and commercial aviation in many areas.

Can military service help get you into NASA?

Military service is a requirement for the Astronaut Corps if you want to be a pilot or mission commander. Most are chosen from the ranks of the Navy and Air Force, and typically have been prior test pilots. They also generally have degrees in Aeronautics or Astrophysics, or other science degrees.For other NASA jobs, a 4yr degree is required, regardless of military service, and typically they look for those with degrees in areas relevant to space exploration and technology.For example:Aeronautical EngineeringAstrophysicsThermal EngineeringMechanical EngineeringElectrical EngineeringElectronics EngineeringMaterials EngineeringPlanetary SciencesBio-sciencesMetallurgical SciencesChemical EngineeringLaser & Optical TechnologyMany NASA employees also have prior experience working in their respective fields before joining NASA. While not a requirement, NASA is picky about employing those who have already proven themselves capable working for contractors that have contracted for NASA missions.

How many hours does an astronaut work at NASA?

NASA Astronauts (not Mission Specialists) are military officers on temporary assigned duty to NASA - as such, they're technically on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Realistically, their schedules are very controlled and extremely busy; most of their time is spent in training for their specific assigned mission (which are determined and usually begin several years in advance), safety and emergency procedures, etc. When they're not training, they're typically doing PR work for NASA, or traveling to the different NASA Centers where work on the systems their mission will be dealing with is being built and tested.
