Home›International Partner and Guest Astronauts›AgencyBrowse ByAgencyThis dimension groups astronauts by the space agency that selected and flew them. Wikipedia notes that "until 2002, astronauts were sponsored and trained exclusively by governments, either by the military or by civilian space agencies," so an astronaut's career is closely tied to one sponsoring body. Browsing this way collects every astronaut flown by a single agency.FactsAgencySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField Origin EraWell-attested1978 1AgencyFilter Results12 entriesNation / ProgramAllAstronauts of Other National Programs (8)European Space Agency Astronauts (2)Guest Cosmonauts of Partner Nations (5)Astronaut RoleAllCommander (1)Flight Engineer (1)Mission Specialist (5)Payload Specialist (2)Pilot (2)Research Cosmonaut (3)Spaceflight Participant (3)Selection YearAll1976 (1)1978 (4)1979 (1)1982 (1)1985 (1)1989 (1)1992 (1)1996 (1)1998 (2)2006 (1)2009 (1)2018 (1)2019 (1)2021 (1)2022 (2)2023 (2)2024 (1)Number of FlightsAll0 (1)1 (11)2 (1)4 (1)NationalityAllAustria (1)Belarus (1)Belgium (1)Brazil (1)Bulgaria (1)Cuba (1)Czechia (1)Denmark (1)Germany (1)Hungary (2)India (2)Israel (1)Mongolia (1)Netherlands (1)Norway (1)Poland (1)Romania (1)Saudi Arabia (1)South Korea (1)Spain (1)Sweden (1)Switzerland (1)Syria (1)Turkey (1)United Arab Emirates (1)Vietnam (1)Birth YearAll1937 (1)1940 (1)1942 (1)1944 (1)1946 (1)1947 (2)1948 (1)1949 (1)1951 (1)1952 (1)1954 (1)1957 (1)1958 (1)1960 (2)1961 (1)1963 (2)1976 (1)1978 (1)1979 (1)1980 (1)1981 (1)1984 (2)1985 (1)1988 (2)1989 (1)1990 (1)1991 (1)1993 (1)Associated WithAllAxiom Space (1)European Space Agency (1)Interkosmos (1)ISRO (1)Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (1)NASA (1)Roscosmos (4)Soviet space program (2)CapabilityAllCrewed Flight (3)No Launch (4)Orbital Launch (6)Suborbital Launch (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareAxiom SpaceAgency2 entriesBelarus Space AgencyAgency1 entryBrazilian Space AgencyAgency1 entryEuropean Space AgencyAgency14 entriesInterkosmosAgency8 entriesISROAgency1 entryKorea Aerospace Research InstituteAgency1 entryMohammed Bin Rashid Space CentreAgency2 entriesNASAAgency1 entryRoscosmosAgency1 entrySaudi Space AgencyAgency2 entriesSoviet space programAgency2 entriesSources1.
