Quick context: astronauts and human spaceflight
The term “astronaut” is often used broadly, but different agencies use different titles (for example, “cosmonaut” in Russia), and selection and training standards have evolved as missions shifted from short flights to long-duration stays on space stations.
- Identify astronauts by mission, spacecraft, or agency
- Recall major milestones (firsts, long-duration records, notable EVAs)
- Understand common mission roles (commander, pilot, mission specialist)
- Practice recognizing programs and eras (Mercury to ISS and beyond)
- Build confidence with mixed difficulty question sets
