of application materials and the EAP selection process.

Applicants may call toll free, 1-877/332-7876, between 10

an applicant does not have a user ID or password, click the

NASA has received more than 1100 EAP applications. The EAP is 
an out-of-this-world opportunity for teachers to become 
permanent members of the NASA Astronaut Corps. 

Educators with science, technology, engineering or 
mathematics backgrounds still have the chance to join NASA's 
first Educator Astronaut class. Educator Astronauts will 
serve as Mission Specialists, trained to perform spacewalks, 
operate the Space Shuttle's robotic arm, and lead research 
experiments. Educator Astronauts will also share their 
extraordinary experience with millions of students and 
teachers.

To apply for the program or to nominate a teacher on the 
Internet, visit:
