List of space travelers by nationality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by WDGraham (talk | contribs) at 00:34, 12 January 2014 (→Notes: add language category, genfixes using AWB). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Countries whose citizens have flown in space as of March 2011.
Countries capable of manned spaceflight or actively developing the capability.

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 Soviet Union. 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).

Except for the SpaceShipOne pilots, all of the space travellers have been crew or participants aboard flights launched by China, the Soviet Union/Russia or the United States.

Statistics

As of September 26, 2013, people from 35 countries have traveled in space.[1] 532 people have reached Earth orbit. 535 have reached the altitude of space according to the FAI definition of the boundary of space, and 541 people have reached the altitude of space according to the American definition. Only 24 people have traveled beyond low Earth orbit.

Of the 35 countries whose citizens have traveled into Earth orbit, 24 have only flown a single space traveler. Over 94% of all space travelers have been contributed by the following eight nations:

 United States
 
 333 (62.59%)

Russia Russia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Soviet Union

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.
