Home›Astronauts and Cosmonauts›NationalityBrowse ByNationalityThis dimension groups astronauts by nationality. Wikipedia defines nationality as "the legal status of belonging to a particular nation," and Wikipedia notes that "astronaut" technically applies to all human space travelers regardless of nationality, even though Russian flyers are usually called cosmonauts instead. Browsing this way collects every astronaut from a single country.FactsNationalitySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField Origin EraWell-attested1961 1NationalityFilter Results41 entriesArea (sq km)All440 (1)22,072 (1)30,689 (1)41,291 (1)41,865 (1)43,094 (1)51,179.92 (1)78,871 (1)83,600 (1)83,879 (1)93,030 (1)100,472 (1)110,860 (1)110,993.6 (1)185,180 (1)207,600 (1)238,397 (1)242,500 (1)302,069 (1)312,696 (1)331,338 (1)357,022 (1)377,975 (1)385,207 (1)450,295 (1)451,730 (1)505,983 (1)603,628 (1)632,702.3 (1)783,562 (1)881,913 (1)996,603 (1)1,648,195 (1)1,972,550 (1)2,149,690 (1)3,287,263 (1)9,572,900 (1)9,866,632 (1)9,984,670 (1)17,075,400 (1)22,402,200 (1)Dissolution or End YearAll1991 (2)Independence or Founding YearAll1492 (1)1523 (1)1776 (1)1801 (1)1821 (2)1830 (1)1848 (1)1861 (1)1867 (1)1877 (1)1902 (1)1905 (1)1908 (1)1918 (1)1922 (3)1923 (1)1932 (1)1945 (2)1946 (1)1947 (2)1948 (1)1949 (1)1971 (1)1981 (1)1991 (3)1993 (1)PopulationAll106,365 (1)5,044,197 (1)5,627,400 (1)6,001,008 (1)6,423,207 (1)9,109,280 (1)9,154,242 (1)9,219,113 (1)9,434,593 (1)9,489,000 (1)10,147,200 (1)10,610,485 (1)10,915,839 (1)11,027,129 (1)11,867,634 (1)18,130,208 (1)19,043,151 (1)26,657,437 (1)32,283,000 (1)33,702,731 (1)37,314,000 (1)41,417,056 (1)49,752,000 (1)51,106,229 (1)51,706,746 (1)58,900,000 (1)69,081,996 (1)69,414,000 (1)83,497,147 (1)86,092,168 (1)92,417,681 (1)103,439,000 (1)109,139,000 (1)122,587,000 (1)134,000,000 (1)142,557,000 (1)241,499,431 (1)293,047,571 (1)340,587,000 (1)1,210,854,977 (1)1,407,698,000 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 41Antigua and BarbudaNationality2 entriesAustriaNationality1 entryBelarusNationality2 entriesBelgiumNationality3 entriesBulgariaNationality1 entryCanadaNationality15 entriesChinaNationality29 entriesCosta RicaNationality1 entryCubaNationality1 entryCzechiaNationality1 entryDenmarkNationality1 entryEgyptNationality1 entryFranceNationality10 entriesGermanyNationality11 entriesHungaryNationality3 entriesIndiaNationality3 entriesIranNationality2 entriesIsraelNationality1 entryItalyNationality7 entriesJapanNationality15 entriesMexicoNationality1 entryNetherlandsNationality2 entriesNorwayNationality1 entryPakistanNationality1 entryPolandNationality1 entryRomaniaNationality1 entryRussiaNationality21 entriesSaudi ArabiaNationality2 entriesSouth KoreaNationality1 entrySoviet UnionNationality31 entriesSpainNationality4 entriesSwedenNationality3 entriesSwitzerlandNationality2 entriesSyriaNationality1 entryTurkeyNationality1 entryUkraineNationality1 entryUkrainian Soviet Socialist RepublicNationality1 entryUnited Arab EmiratesNationality2 entriesUnited KingdomNationality3 entriesUnited StatesNationality105 entriesVietnamNationality1 entrySources1.
