Astronauts are highly trained individuals who travel into space for research, exploration, and various missions related to space science and technology. They undergo rigorous education and training to prepare for the physical and mental challenges of spaceflight, including operating spacecraft, conducting experiments, and performing spacewalks (extravehicular activities). Astronauts typically have backgrounds in fields such as engineering, physical science, biological science, or medicine, and they may work for government space agencies like NASA, ESA, or private aerospace companies. Their work contributes to understanding the universe, improving life on Earth through technological advancements, and exploring the possibility of human life on other planets.
