List of space travelers by nationality

See also: List of space travelers by name

Map of countries whose citizens have flown in space as of March 2009.

This is an alphabetical list of space travelers, people who have traveled in space, organized by nationality.

The criteria for determining who has achieved human spaceflight vary. The FAI defines spaceflight as any flight over 100 kilometres (62 miles). In the United States, professional, military, and commercial astronauts who travel above an altitude of 80 kilometres (50 miles) are awarded astronaut wings. The majority of people who have flown into space have done so by entering Earth orbit. This list includes persons meeting all three criteria, in separate subdivisions.

The flags indicate the space traveler's nationality at the time of their flight or flights. In cases of dual citizenship, the space traveler is listed under their primary residence. A secondary list appended to the entry for the U.S.S.R. shows the birth countries of space travelers not born in Russia. A similar list after the entry for the United States shows the birth countries of space travelers who are or were citizens of the U.S. but were born elsewhere. Flags shown in the secondary lists are those in use at the time of the space travelers' birth.

Names in italic are space travelers who are not part of any national astronaut program or astronaut corps.

Statistics

As of August 29, 2009, people from 35 countries have traveled in space. 511 people have gone into space according to the American definition of the boundary of space, while 505 have reached space according to the FAI definition. Of these, 502 have reached Earth orbit. Only 24 people have traveled beyond low Earth orbit.

Of the 35 countries whose representatives have traveled into Earth orbit, 24 have only flown a single space traveler (of which 24 countries, 5 are now members of the European Space Agency). The remaining have contributed the following numbers of space travelers:

United States   324 (64.5%) Russia1   103 (20.5%) File:Not the esa logo.PNG ESA2   33 (6.6%) Canada   8 (1.6%) Japan   7 (1.4%) China   6 (1.2%) Bulgaria   2 (0.4%) - Other countries   19 (3.8%)

¹ Includes 61 USSR cosmonauts and 11 who flew for both Russia and the USSR.
² Includes cosmonauts from countries formerly allied to the USSR and now part of the ESA.

Russia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

The Soviet space program came under the control of the Russian Federation in December 1991; the new program, now called the Russian Federal Space Agency, retained continuity of equipment and personnel with the Soviet program. While all Soviet and RKA cosmonauts were born within the borders of the U.S.S.R., many were born outside the boundaries of Russia, and may be claimed by other Soviet successor states as nationals of those states. These cosmonauts are marked with an asterisk  • and their place of birth is shown in an appended list. All, however, claimed Soviet or Russian citizenship at the time of their space flights.
