Astronaut Andy Thomas became the first Australian citizen in space, while Paul Scully-Powers was the first Australian-born astronaut to enter space.
Philip Kenyon Chapman While Chapman is the first Australian to train as an astronaut, he did not fly in space. That honour goes to Paul Scully Power, who flew on the STS-41 mission in 1984.
Philip Kenyon Chapman was the first Australian born American astronaut (NASA Group 6; 1967). This question can be answered in two ways, Philip Kenyon Chapman is the first Australian born (he gained US citizenship in 1966) to train as an astronaut, although he never flew in space. He was the mission scientist for Apollo 14. Paul Scully Power is an Australian born Payload Specialist who flew aboard STS-41 in October 5th to 13th 1984, but by that time he had become an US citizen, which he took in 1982. So while Chapman holds the record for the first Australian to train as an astronaut, Power holds the record for the first Australian in space.
That would be Paul Scully Power, who flew on the STS-41 mission in 1984.
