In September 2007, NASA opened its applications for the 2009 Astronaut Candidate Class. Graduates of the Class of 2009 will not only have the opportunity to fly the agency’s new Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), the successor to the Space Shuttle, but also be eligible for missions to the Moon. Successful applicants will possess the standard shopping list of astronaut qualifications that include a PhD, extensive flying experience, scuba certification, and parachuting skills. Those selected will report to Johnson Space Center (JSC) in the summer of 2009 to begin the basic astronaut training program preparing them for future flight assignments which may include missions to the Moon.
