NASA is looking for astronaut candidates as the space agency gets ready to return to human spaceflight launches from American soil.
With more human spacecraft in development in the United States today than at any other time in history, NASA will soon begin accepting applications for the next class of astronaut candidates.
Future astronauts will launch once again head into space from the Space Coast on American-made commercial spacecraft, and carry out deep-space exploration missions that will advance a future human mission to Mars.
The agency will accept applications from Dec. 14 through mid-February, 2016 and expects to announce candidates selected in mid-2017. Applications for consideration as a NASA Astronaut will be accepted at: http://www.usajobs.gov
