Announcement of ESA’s new class of astronauts

An event absolutely not to be missed 👀

ESA’s new class of astronauts was announced in Paris on 23 November 2022. It includes career astronauts, reserve astronauts and astronauts with a physical disability for a feasibility project.

Last year and for the first time since 2008, ESA launched a call for applications and it received more than 22 500 valid applications. At an event on 23 November, ESA revealed which of these were successful. The event was moderated by Louise Houghton.

November 23, 2022
Selection begins | ESA’s next astronauts

Work is under way to sort and assess applications from more than 22 500 ESA astronaut hopefuls. The rigorous selection process will take around 18 months. Initial screening to ensure that basic criteria are met will be followed by medical and psychological tests, exercises and interviews.

ESA plans to recruit 4-6 new astronauts through this 2021-22 selection round to support the future of European space exploration. This is likely to include missions to the International Space Station as well as the Moon. As part of the selection process, ESA is also assessing the feasibility of flying an astronaut with a physical disability.

Astronaut selection: tips from Thomas

In 2008, Thomas Pesquet applied to become an ESA astronaut. On 22 April 2021, he will fly his second mission to the International Space Station. In this video Thomas shares how he found his way to space, and encourages viewers to follow their passions as ESA seeks its next class of astronauts.

Nobody is perfect on their first attempt at a task, but Thomas says the only way to improve is to try and keep trying. Though becoming an astronaut seemed a distant dream when he was younger, by continuing to challenge himself and learn along the way he developed the skills he needed to put himself forward and become one of a small group who have travelled to space.

Whatever your passion, his advice is universal: try your best, and if you don’t succeed it doesn’t matter. What does matter is perseverance.

Sélection d‘astronautes : quelques astuces de Thomas

Thomas Pesquet a postulé en 2008 pour devenir un astronaute de l’ESA. Le 22 avril 2021, il décollera à destination de la Station spatiale internationale pour sa deuxième mission. Thomas partage dans cette vidéo la manière dont il s’est frayé un chemin vers l’espace, et encourage son audience à suivre la passion qui les anime alors que l’ESA est à la recherche de sa prochaine classe d’astronautes.

Personne n’est parfait la première fois qu’il effectue une tâche, mais Thomas explique que la seule manière de s’améliorer, c’est d’essayer et de continuer à essayer. Même si devenir astronaute semblait un rêve lointain quand il était plus jeune, c’est en se mettant continuellement au défi et en apprenant au fil du temps qu’il a développé les compétences nécessaires pour se présenter et faire partie du petit groupe de personnes qui sont allées dans l’espace.

Son conseil s’applique quelle que soit votre passion : faites de votre mieux, et si vous ne réussissez pas, ce n’est pas grave. Ce qui importe, c’est la persévérance.
