Would you like to go into space?

Ever dreamed of flying to the Moon and helping to build a base there?

Well, there are a few things you'll need to do before you can make that dream come true.

Nasa has opened applications for astronauts to help in their next chapter of human spaceflight, so we've been checking out what they're looking for.

The chosen applicants will join the US space agency as they aim to return to the Moon, build a Moon base and lay groundwork for first crewed missions to Mars.

Now if you think that sounds like a cool job let us know in the vote and have your say in the comments below.

Last time Nasa put a call out for astronauts to join their program - more than 8,000 people applied, and only 10 made the final cut.

However, now they need more explorers.

With only 32 active astronauts the space agency says it needs more recruits to help reach its future goals.

We have far more work than we have astronauts," said Artemis III commander Randy Bresnik.

Applications for interested astronauts are open until 3rd December.

But for those of us in the UK, the dream is still a little far away, as you have to be a US citizen to apply.

You must also hold a master's degree in a STEM field, including engineering, biological science, physical science, or computer science.

As well as the qualification candidates must also have at least three years of related professional experience.

And for those who are applying as a pilot or doctor, there are further requirements to meet.

Nasa expects to make its final selection in late 2027.

"This is an extraordinary time to join NASA's astronaut corps," said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.

"The people we select could walk on the Moon, live and work at the Moon Base, and help pioneer the systems and operations that will ultimately carry crews to Mars"

Those selected will be part of NASA's 25th astronaut class since the original Mercury Seven in 1959.

Now that sounds like a great job!
