What candidates need to land a job in space

Those inspired by Tim Peake may be in luck. The aerospace sector across Europe and NASA is currently hiring people for the space and satellite industry, but the jobs are not for everyone.

NASA is currently recruiting a new batch of astronaut candidates. NASA has posted an advert on its jobsite. It says: “NASA is accepting applications for a new class of astronauts. Today, more [new] human spacecrafts are in development in the United States (U.S.) than at any time in history, and future astronaut candidates will have the opportunity to explore farther in space than humans have ever been.”
