Calling all wannabe astronauts, the Canadian Space Agency is looking for you!

A recruitment campaign has begun as the government searches for two new Canadian astronauts for its next space exploration.

“Astronauts are modern-day explorers. They courageously travel beyond the Earth to help discover new scientific knowledge. Their courage and determination are an inspiration to many. Their unique experience helps advance scientific research and technology development,” reads the government’s description of the job.

Canada’s astronauts are based at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Their work involves supporting space missions in progress and preparing for a future mission by taking extensive training. The recruitment for new Canadian astronauts will run until Aug. 15, 2016.

The CSA will select two qualified astronaut candidates from a diverse pool of Canadian citizens with a wide variety of backgrounds. Those selected after the first round of evaluation will take part in a rigorous selection process that will last almost a year.
