Meet our newest astronaut candidates!
Live from NASA's Johnson Space Center, we're introducing our 2025 class of astronaut candidates to the public for the first time. Chosen from over 8,000 applicants, these candidates will undergo nearly two years of training before they graduate as astronauts, eligible for missions to the Moon and beyond.
Our astronaut corps is pushing the boundaries of exploration—from conducting scientific research on the International Space Station, to preparing for our Artemis missions to the Moon, to inspiring the next generation of explorers and innovators.
