5 most interesting jobs in the space industry

Fashion designers and astronauts are two of the most interesting jobs in space exploration science.

Costume designer

Working with SpaceX's Dragon Airship, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, designers are responsible for creating outfits that fit the space. The outfit must meet the requirements of overcoming all technical challenges, compatible with devices such as seats, dashboards, support and maintenance of astronauts' lives.

The designers will show their creativity through details on the costumes. SpaceX said: 'The recruited people need knowledge of technology and space, must have a practical creative thinking'.

Occupation smells

Perhaps the most bizarre profession in the space belongs to a NASA employee named George Aldrich. He was responsible for smelling materials, identifying their ingredients before flights into space took place. Aldrich is a chemical specialist. He performed more than 850 odor missions for NASA, including the space shuttle, Skylab's first space station and the International Space Station (ISS).

According to many experts, the work is very important in the narrow space environment of the spacecraft. It helps identify dangerous chemicals and toxic substances that threaten astronauts' health.

Psychologist

In addition to doctors who regularly perform astronaut health checks, there are 'psychological space' experts who monitor their spirits.

Monotony, cramped conditions and the isolation of a space flight pose a major psychological challenge for astronauts. The work of a space psychologist is to advise them before, during and after the flight takes place. Since then psychologists will apply "countermeasures" to help astronauts stay awake when making space missions.

Tour guide

In the future, the breakthrough of space tourism will create new jobs that are tour guides in the universe.

A series of private companies compete to bring tourists into space. Thousands of enthusiasts spend money to get on the waiting list. This job requires good knowledge of space, for those who dream of working in space, but lack the technical expertise to become an astronaut.

Astronaut

Astronauts, or astronauts trained to perform special flights on spacecraft. In addition to professional work, they must perform the inspection of machinery and equipment to ensure good operation, they exercise and monitor health regularly.

Astronauts must also make detailed work schedules for the next day and the next day, and they will monitor the evolution of the space, keep up-to-date on the earth's control stations.
