List of space travelers by nationality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Map of countries whose citizens have flown in space as of March 2011.

Countries capable of Manned Space Flight.

This is an alphabetical list of space travelers, people who have traveled in space, organized by nationality.

The criteria for determining who has achieved human spaceflight vary. The FAI defines spaceflight as any flight over 100 kilometres (62 mi). In the United States, professional, military, and commercial astronauts who travel above an altitude of 80 kilometres (50 mi) are awarded astronaut wings. The majority of people who have flown into space have done so by entering Earth orbit. This list includes persons meeting all three criteria, in separate subdivisions.

The flags indicate the space traveler's nationality at the time of their flight or flights. In cases of dual citizenship, the space traveler is listed under their primary residence. A secondary list appended to the entry for the U.S.S.R. shows the birth countries of space travelers not born in Russia. A similar list after the entry for the United States shows the birth countries of space travelers who are or were citizens of the U.S. but were born elsewhere. Flags shown in the secondary lists are those in use at the time of the space travelers' birth.

Names in italic are space travelers who are not part of any national astronaut program or astronaut corps (Toyohiro Akiyama, Helen Sharman, the Space Adventures customers and the sub-orbital SpaceShipOne pilots).

[edit] Statistics

As of April 4, 2011 (2011 -04-04)^[update], people from 35 countries have traveled in space.^[1] 531 people have gone into space according to the American definition of the boundary of space, while 525 have reached space according to the FAI definition. Of these, 522 have reached Earth orbit. Only 24 people have traveled beyond low Earth orbit.

Of the 35 countries whose representatives have traveled into Earth orbit, 24 have only flown a single space traveler; of these 24 countries, 5 are now members of the European Space Agency. The remaining have contributed the following numbers of space travelers:


United States			332 (63.6%)
Russia¹			112 (21.5%)
ESA²			33 (6.3%)
Canada			9 (1.7%)
Japan			9 (1.7%)
China			6 (1.1%)
Bulgaria			2 (0.4%)
- Other countries			19 (3.6%)

Person days in space as of January 18, 2010

¹ Includes 61 Soviet Union cosmonauts and 11 who flew for both Russia and the Soviet Union.
² Includes cosmonauts from countries formerly allied to the Soviet Union and now part of the ESA.

[edit] Russia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

The Soviet space program came under the control of the Russian Federation in December 1991; the new program, now called the Russian Federal Space Agency, retained continuity of equipment and personnel with the Soviet program. While all Soviet and RKA cosmonauts were born within the borders of the U.S.S.R., many were born outside the boundaries of Russia, and may be claimed by other Soviet successor states as nationals of those states. These cosmonauts are marked with an asterisk • and their place of birth is shown in an appended list. All, however, claimed Soviet or Russian citizenship at the time of their space flights.
