"Flying" has been the ultimate dream of mankind for thousands of years, from the earliest "first person in spaceflight" Wanhu Feitian of the Ming Dynasty to Yuri Gagarin of the former Soviet Union in 1961, to Allen of the United States in the same year
and Yang Liwei of China in 2003.
So far, astronauts from 38 countries around the world have been to space, and the "dream of flying" has become a reality.
Many people want to become astronauts to see the stars in the sky and the blue planet in the universe, but the profession of astronaut is not something you can just do if you want to do it. So what conditions do you need to meet to become an astronaut?
If you meet these conditions, how much salary can you get from this job?
How to become a qualified astronaut. If you want to become a qualified astronaut, first of all, your body must be in good enough shape.
The physical fitness requirements of astronauts are far higher than those of ordinary aircraft pilots. If your physical fitness is not up to standard but is admitted under special conditions for some reason, then you will definitely not be able to survive even the most basic physical training of astronauts, because of the training syllabus for astronauts
Including but not limited to roller training, long-distance running training, weightless training, etc., and if your physical fitness is not up to standard, the roller training session alone is enough to make you drink a bottle.
In addition to having good physical fitness and fitness, you must also have a bachelor's degree in engineering, biology, physics, or mathematics. Of course, if you have a master's or doctorate, you will be given priority.
The most important task of astronauts is to explore the universe, assist satellites and space telescopes, and provide scientists on earth with the latest information, satellite positioning, etc.
Astronauts also need to conduct some experiments in outer space. In addition to conducting comparative experiments on the survival of organisms on earth and outer space, they will also solve some problems that humans may face in the future in space.
In addition, astronauts must master the driving of the spacecraft and the operation of various equipment and instruments in the cabin.
It can be seen that having professional knowledge in mathematical engineering is essential for astronauts.
If you can meet all the above conditions, then it depends on this last item.
In addition to professional knowledge and physical fitness, the psychological quality of astronauts must also be strong enough, because life in space is completely different from life on earth. Astronauts have to face not only a weightless environment, but also monotonous and boring work. If astronauts cannot
If you adjust your mentality in time, you will soon collapse in this environment lacking human interaction. Not to mention that the space mission cannot be completed by then, even your life will be affected.
"If you pick one", do you think you can be elected as an astronaut if you meet all the requirements?
That's not necessarily the case.
Just like you have reached the first level in the college entrance examination, it does not mean that you can go to Tsinghua and Peking University. Astronauts also adhere to the principle of "merit-based admission", which means that if you meet the above conditions, you must also
It is "people are superior to people".
Astronauts can be said to be a profession with the lowest acceptance rate in the world. The selection results of astronaut candidates previously announced by NASA showed that at that time, 18,300 people signed up for the election, but only 7 men and 5 were successfully shortlisted.
Among women, the admission rate hit a historical record - 0.066%. If you include those whose physical fitness is not up to standard, then the admission rate for astronauts is really "one in ten thousand."
How much do astronauts who operate the world's most cutting-edge high-tech equipment get paid?
Someone once said that astronauts are a high-paying job, but in fact, astronauts' wages are not calculated based on the number of times, but are paid monthly just like ordinary people. However, their wages are divided into two parts. One is on earth.
One is the salary in space.
The salaries of astronauts vary from country to country. Among them, the highest salary belongs to the American astronaut. Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who completed a one-year mission on the International Space Station, said that the highest salary of a NASA astronaut is about annual salary.
$155,000.
This number may not seem like a lot, but don’t forget that the astronaut salary is divided into two parts. The $155,000 Kelly mentioned is only the salary on Earth.
According to US media reports, if a NASA astronaut goes to space or a space station to perform a mission, his average monthly salary can reach 170,000 U.S. dollars. Calculated at today’s exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar, which is about 6.5 yuan, the monthly salary of an American astronaut is about 110 yuan.
More than 10,000 yuan.
The United States is so rich because it is the world's largest economy, so it can pay these astronauts such high salaries.
Our country's astronauts are all military personnel, and their salaries are basically linked to their military ranks.
The ordinary salary of an astronaut is about 10,000 yuan, and with subsidies, it is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that American astronauts are divided into "earth salary" and "space salary". The monthly salary of NASA astronauts is about 66,000 to 125,000 US dollars. If they go on a "business trip" to outer space, the monthly salary can be as much as
to US$170,000; in addition, they can also receive seniority subsidies, government rewards and test flight subsidies.
Astronauts are a high-risk profession. No matter how much they are paid, their contribution to human progress cannot be underestimated.
