how can I be qualified to jion NASA?

Question

Thanks.

Answer 1

contact NASA and ask them what they want:

WHAT IS OUR ADDRESS?

It depends... NASA Headquarters has two different addresses: an official mailing address and a delivery address. Using the correct address can be crucial. Items being express-mailed or handcarried need to include the street address.

Mailing Address
Items mailed through the U.S. Postal Service (including registered or certified) should be addressed as

Name/Title
Office (Division, Branch, Section, Unit)
Office ID
NASA Headquarters
Washington DC 20546-0001

Delivery Address
Items mailed by express mail, commercial delivery, or courier delivery should be addressed as:

Name/Title
Office (Division, Branch, Section, Unit)
Office ID
Attn: Receiving & Inspection
NASA Headquarters
300 E Street SW
Washington DC 20024-3210

Answer 2

Major in an engineering or other scientific field. My best friend was NASA's 1st astronomer & I worked there in the 60s as an Electrical Engineer. I wasn't an astronaut but did enjoy working on some state of the art projects back then.

Answer 3

I did not read the other answers, however, I live in Cleveland where a very important nasa reaserch center is located, and many people from my school simply apply for summer internships or research. I go to school with 2nd years who get to intern there, mostly focusing on chemistry and physics.

obviously engineering and astrophysics/astronomy are important but I havent herd of internships for those.

FYI internship recruiting starts in december so be ready!!

Good Luck

Answer 4

I had 2 years in pre. Eng. and that was just right then and very good in communications that I got in the Air Force. I was at the level that I could go to most of the schools without any pre training. I worked with them for 17 years untill I quit for a better job .

"There are many ways to support the exciting NASA mission. Some people work directly for NASA as civil service employees assigned to NASA facilities; some work for our contractors at hundreds of locations throughout the country; some perform research at major universities; and some participate in our numerous educational outreach activities. Search this page for information on how to apply for the opportunity that’s right for you.

If you are interested in working as a civil service employee, you should know that NASA’s Staffing and Recruitment System, NASA STARS, is now linked with the Office of Personnel Management’s USAJOBS system to provide you with a seamless application process. As of October 1, 2005, NASA only accepts the USAJOBS resume as the basic electronic application document. (Your USAJOBS resume can also be used to apply for jobs at many other Federal agencies.) Once we receive your resume and supplemental information, NASA STARS uses Resumix software to assist in electronically rating and ranking your resume. Our process is easy to use, and yields timely results.

We encourage you to use our electronic process, but you may also submit your hard copy resume to our Resume Operations Center (ROC); the address is in our vacancy announcements. Applications submitted manually must contain the same information required in our electronic process, including your social security number and address. You must provide the required information in order to receive consideration for NASA vacancies. Mailed applications must be received in the ROC by the closing date of the announcement.

I. To apply for NASA civil service job opportunities:

* STEP 1: Find a NASA job here:
o Job Search
OR
o Jobs Notification Service
This feature is now located on the USAJOBS site. You will need to create an account on that site to activate the job notification service.
* STEP 2: Create a resume on the USAJOBS Resume Builder.

Please note that although there are no length limitations on the USAJOBS resume, NASA limits its submission to approximately six typed pages, or roughly 22,000 characters. This limitation applies to both electronic and hard copy resumes. We will not accept resumes that exceed our length requirements.

You must submit a resume for positions filled under NASA STARS; other application forms, such as an OF-612 or an SF-171 will not be accepted. Although an electronically submitted resume is preferred, you may mail your resume to our Resume Operations Center. Applicants will no longer submit KSAs or verification information at the time of application; however, if selected, the applicant must provide any relevant verification information such as transcripts or veterans' preference validation.

For assistance in creating a resume that will maximize your opportunities for NASA jobs, view NASA's on-line Applicant Guide.
* STEP 3: Find the announcement to which you wish to apply, and select the ‘Apply On-Line’ button.

After you submit your resume, you will be asked to respond to a short series of questions. You must complete all of the questions and submit your entire application package to receive consideration.

If you are applying for an SES position, you will be asked to submit narrative statements on your Executive Core Qualifications and your Technical Qualifications (as described in the vacancy announcement). We STRONGLY recommend that you complete those materials off-line before starting the application process.

II. To apply for the following opportunities, follow the instructions given with each program:

* Research Opportunities with NASA
* Student Opportunities with NASA
* Teacher Opportunities

III. To apply for the following opportunities:

* NASA Contractor Jobs Submit your application directly to the contractor company.
* Uniformed Services ( U.S.) Contact your uniformed service directly"

Answer 10

See what jobs they are hiring and what their requirements are. I see they also have summer interships. This could be a great opportunity while you are in school.
