Become an Astronaut
SUIT.UP
CREW SELECTION
We are giving 6 members of the global public, selected mainly from the 150 countries that have never had an astronaut, the opportunity to go to space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket.
For citizens of Nations that have had no or very few astronauts
For everyone else on the planet
Unlike human spaceflight programs of the past, there is no ‘finger on the scale’ of astronaut selection
The final crew is voted by you
This Mission is a partnership between SERA and Blue Origin. Together we are dedicated to opening up new opportunities in space for communities that have historically lacked access.
