Astro School is the answer to the question ‘How to become an astronaut?’ This is a community that everyone from around the world has access to. This is a space where you will receive belief and support on your journey towards your career as an astronaut.
The earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever.

Discipline-specific skills arranged by Astro School
Flying
To become an astronaut you need to be an experienced pilot, test and experimental pilot. Most space agencies require future astronauts to have at least 1000 hours in a jet plane. We’ll work towards that.
Diving
Diving is the closest form of simulation of a space walk that currently exists on Earth. Space agencies require at least 1000 diving hours. We’ll work on that too.
Driving
Driving is one of the requirements to be mobile during the training process so if you do not have a driving licence yet, we will get this covered.
STEM Degree
Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths degrees are required to have the necessary knowledge base to be fully capable to perform your duties on the spaceship.
Physical
Fitness and physical suitability is required to withstand high pressure and workload of training process and when you go to space.
Analogue
Analogue mission is a field test for astronauts, researchers or explorers who are grouped together in a self-contained space in an isolated location with external staff monitoring what’s going on. It is a way to test equipment or procedures before real space missions.
Be brave, be curious, be determined, overcome the odds. It can be done.

Outcomes
Worst case scenario
You might not go through a selection process during the training at the Astro School or might not be enrolled by space agencies around the world. Unfortunately, all you would be is a pilot, diver, driver and scientist. Just that. Perhaps, for an adventurous life on Earth?
Good scenario
Diving is the closest form of simulation of a space walk that currently exists on Earth. Space agencies require at least 1000 diving hours. We’ll work on that too.
Best case scenario
You fly to space on a mission or on a personal trip.
