Technicians

Technicians are people who work to make sure that the aircraft, spacecraft or missiles work properly.  Many people who are hired to work in aerospace engineering and technicians have an associate’s degree in engineering technology. When you work as an aerospace technician you will be installing parts, checking systems, helping with time management, and making sure each product is at its best quality. Technicians help solve mishaps with aircraft parts.In 2011 the average pay for  an aerospace technician was 61,460 dollars. The total number of jobs in 2011 were 9,290 but there was a decrease in the original number of jobs. When you are an aerospace technician you record, look at,  and  problems that have to do with the aircraft parts. They also distinguish the complications with the design of the aircraft. technicians have to a minimum of 40 a week.

Astronomer

Astronomers specialize in certain types of things outside of the earth’s atmosphere, such as black holes. Typical responsibilities include thinking of and trying out scientific theories, inspecting data and analyzing ideas. Astronomers also publish their research and present their papers to people at the same level of experience.The median pay of an astronomer is 110,980 dollars a year.To be an astronomer you must have a doctoral or a professional degree.In 2014 the total number of jobs was 20,000.Astronomers can put their attention into different fields.That would include the sun, the solar systems, or the planets.Others spend their time studying other people's findings.In 2022 the growth rate is expected to be 10%.150 jobs will be created each year.In 2022 the total number of jobs that will be added will be 2400.I would be interested in pursuing a career in astronomy because studying the stars would be fascinating and making scientific discoveries would be wonderful.

Spacesuit Designer

A spacesuit designer is typically a highly trained engineer with a specialty in mechanical engineering. Each mission in space mission in space will have unique requirements that the engineer must consider to develop the most appropriate spacesuit for the job. A spacesuit designer has a main goal of making the suit lighter and being able to move around.To be a spacesuit designer you must have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's degree in mechanical engineering.A spacesuit designer usually works 40 hours per week.The average salary of spacesuit designer is 92,818 dollars per year.A spacesuit designer must create and build each spacesuit precisely for the astronauts duties.When you are a spacesuit designer you need to set your priorities straight and be able to follow directions.You must be able work well in a team based environment.

Payload Specialist

A payload specialist is an astronaut who is in charge of the scientific experiments aboard a space mission.This requires two years of training before going into space.They are trained scientists from different fields. Their job is to make sure scientific experiments are conducted safely and correctly in order to get reliable an accurate results. They observe experiments, record data, and communicate with scientists back on earth.The average salary of a payload specialist is 57,000 dollars per year.To be a payload specialist you must have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in fields such as engineering, mathematics, biological science, or physical science.Additionally an advanced technical degree would earn even more than the bachelor's degree.In space the payload could be animals,cargo,a spacecraft carrying humans, a space-probe, or a satellite.

Aerospace Engineers

Aerospace engineers use advanced education and experience in mechanical, electrical, materials or computer engineering disciplines to plan and construct spacecraft and aircraft. When dealing with spacecraft, these professionals are called astronautical engineers. Those who focus on aircraft are called aeronautical engineers. Most aerospace engineers concentrate on a single area of the field, such as propulsion systems, flight mechanics, guidance and control systems, aerodynamics or robotics. They might be involved in research, planning, testing, production or analysis within any of these areas. specific duties of an aerospace engineer can vary greatly because of the specialized nature of the industry. Aerospace engineers might conduct research on production materials used for construction of an aircraft, or analyze the structural integrity of its framework. Some aerospace engineers are in charge of designing guidance systems for missiles or control panels for fighter jets. Aerospace engineers coordinate test flights and document the results. Engineering space exploration vehicles, they may develop propulsion systems and design computer systems. Aerospace engineers can also be in charge of designing production methods and manufacturing facilities, or monitoring on-going performance. Aerospace engineers use advanced education and experience in mechanical, electrical, materials or computer engineering disciplines to plan and construct spacecraft and aircraft.
