ESA’s astronaut corps currently consists of seven astronauts selected in 2009. All astronauts go through the same basic training, and over time they are assigned to individual missions. Here you will find a collection of the brochures that have been published about each of the astronauts and their individual missions.

The astronauts announced as the ESA Class of 2022 will start their basic training in 2023 and will not be assigned to missions for at least 12 months.
