Im guessing aerospace with pilot studies and a degree in maths, also ict would be good, anything else???
And would you need alot of piloting experience, how much, and in what field? Commercial fight or like as fighter pilot?

That really depends on what you want to do for NASA. It sounds like you want to be an astronaut, and that’s the hardest job to get – if you want to be a shuttle pilot, join the Air Force. If you want to go into space as a scientist, go get a PhD (bachelors degree is the minimum requirement, but having an advanced degree helps a lot). If you want to be a research scientist, go get a PhD (the pilot stuff won’t help you there at all). Or you could be hired as an engineer, a computer scientist, doctor, lawyer, architect, and many other things.

Flight Director (FLIGHT)

Mission Operations Directorate (MOD)

Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM)

Control Officer (CONTROL)

Basically, what major should I study to be involved with NASA’s flight control?
I’ve considered Aerospace Engineering, but I’m not sure if that "hits the spot."

Science

Good luck!

same as above!

Question for you is active duty or reserve unit?

Active duty-wise, Aerospace Medicine focuses on the medical care of military members on flight status; those members whose jobs involve being airborne or also work in altitude chambers.

The Reserve side is the medical unit for the reserve base or wing. It’s function is to ensure that members of the wing are medically cleared for duty. Patients include both flyers and non-flyers.

Both active and reserve coordinate findings with lab, immunizations, and other support functions. Both have doctors that are certified as flight doctors who have specialized training and understand the physiological aspects flying has upon the human body.

-What degrees needed to become one?
-What is there starting salary?
-Do you need experience if applying for nasa

answer 1. minimum B.Eng for the civil industry, minimum M.Sc or Phd if you want to get into the high tech stuff. My propulsion professor worked at NASA and he was an honour’s grad from CalTech…

answer 2. check out salary.com an aerospace engineer’s starting salary would depend heavily on what city you are employed and what company employs you. you can end up working far below or above the average.

answer 3. you always need experience before applying to any aero job. (kind of sad, I know, but it’s the hard truth for any job these days). Based on personal experience, to get your foot through the door, you need to either know someone that is there to refer you in or taken some kind of co-op internship experience. However, stellar grades do help in finding that first job.

I would appreciate you, if you could help me in collecting some good material for preparing for GATE exam in Aerospace Engineering. Any thing related to aeronautics is most welcome…..

Thanks in advance

I would review my old books =]
Orbital mechanics, Fluids (compressible and incompressible)
Solids, Statics, Dynamics
and Thermodynamics
Laws of thermodynamics you better know them.

I’ve been accepted to several universities: Georgia Tech, Embry-Riddle, UCF, and waiting on MIT, Purdue, and UF. I am planning on majoring in aerospace engineering but I’m not sure where to attend. I’ve seen the list of top undergraduate school for AE but I’m still uncertain if it really matters what the schools rank in. I can most likely attend any college I wish, but I want a good engineering school.

My friend is also majoring in this and is applying to several of these colleges! I would say based on your acceptances now, UCF . Also it might be better for you depending on how your school is. I know 2 years ago my other friend was top of his class and got into MIT on a FULL RIDE but made all C’s and D’s there so he transferred to university of maryland and is making straight A’s. Don’t choose a school that will overwork you just because of the name…. though MIT does look good on a diploma. But so does UCF….

I’m wanting to work for NASA in the future and it would be nice to go to a college that has connections with them, but it’s not necessary. It doesn’t matter where the college is either, I just want a good school. If you could also give me the requirements for that college I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you:]

Co-oping at NASA is the best way to get your foot in the door and get a full time position.

Check out the website for co-ops at Johnson Space Center (which has a wide variety of NASA activities with both engineering and mission control): http://coop.jsc.nasa.gov/index.html

You can also look at current co-op students and where they attend: http://coop.jsc.nasa.gov/bio_university.html

I am currently a junior in high school. I have all honors classes except english. My average GPA is 4.3. I am dual enrolled at the #1 community college in the nation also. I have alot of extra math and science credits and just recieved my PSAT scores and i got a 175 and scored higher than 75% of everybody who took it. Which college would be good for me since i want to be an aerospace engineer. I’ve looked a little into embry riddle and penn state and a couple other colleges.

University of North Dakota, in Grand Forks.

I’ve heard so many great things about this school’s program – you should request to be mailed an information packet about it!

Tofu Ninja is a little on the high side. The working level engineer works at the GS-13 level. You can go to the OPM website and look at the pay tables to see what a GS-13 makes in the different areas of the US. In the rest of US locality pay area, a GS-13 can make anywhere from $80402 to $104525.

CAE is the largest manufacturer in the world.
Flight Safety is the second largest but they manufacture mainly for their own flight schools.
Thales Thompson is probably third largest.
