Unlike other careers, this path requires dedication and specific qualifications – including mastering the technical training. This guide will equip you with both the BitLife astronaut answers and the comprehensive strategy you need to reach for the stars.

We’ll break down the entire process, step-by-step, ensuring a smooth journey.

Important note: To unlock the astronaut career, you’ll need the Astronaut Special Career Pack or the Boss Mode add-on. Don’t worry, we’ll cover all your options within this guide!

how to become an astronaut in bitlife

There are three tasks for your character to follow to become an Astronaut: getting a STEM degree, going to the Space Academy to train, and finally applying to a Space Agency. The first step here can be confusing, but your character only needs to enter a university to begin studying. Sign up for a science, mathematics, engineering, or technology major to receive a STEM degree in BitLife when you graduate.

The next step involves taking 40 hours of flight lessons, which cost a few thousand dollars to take in BitLife. You will find this extra training through the Activities menu, then in the Licenses category, where you can find Flight School as an option. After you take the time to go through courses, head back to Licenses and pick the Pilot’s License to answer a question correctly for the certification.

Now you’re ready to head to the Space Academy, which can be attended by going to the Occupation menu and selecting Astronaut from the Special Careers. Apply for the program in BitLife and pay for two years of training in the Fitness, Flight, and Technical courses. You will need to answer several quiz questions that challenge what you learn to graduate from the Academy.

Astronaut Tips

This guide compiles insights from your first astronaut playthrough in BitLife, offering valuable tips and tricks to excel in this exciting career path.

Becoming an Astronaut

• Nationality Matters: Ensure you’re from a country with a space program: US, France, Russia, Canada, Japan, India, UK, Poland, Australia, Malaysia, Italy, Hungary, or Germany.
• Academic Excellence: Graduate high school with good grades. Pursue a STEM degree in college (Engineering, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, or Information Systems). Consider joining STEM clubs to boost your chances of entering space academy.
• Space Camp Advantage: Attend space camp if possible for an extra edge.
• Pilot License Required: Obtain a pilot license by completing 40 hours of flight school and passing the pilot test.

Training and Career Progression

• Space Academy: Apply for space academy, diligently train, and graduate to become eligible for astronaut careers.
• Sharpening Technical Skills: Apply for orbital missions (research experiments and spacewalks). Choose the correct options to improve your technical skills. If you fail, force close the app before the results appear and try again.

Missions and Discoveries

• Acquiring Artifacts: During missions, volunteer for tasks and choose the option to pick up discovered artifacts.
• Deciphering Messages: To decipher extraterrestrial messages (after unlocking the probe and transmitting one yourself), follow the provided hints. Look for recurring letters and choose the option that aligns with the pattern.
• Discovering Celestial Bodies: Unlock the probe (available at Captain rank) and wait for it to discover galaxies, asteroids, nebulae, planets, or stars (may take years).

Probe Management

• Unlocking the Probe: Reach Captain rank.
• Successful Probe Design: Balance structural materials, software engineering, and technical equipment for a higher success rate. The budget fluctuates with each design attempt.
• Lunar and Martian Exploration: Achieve Major rank for lunar missions and General rank for Martian exploration.

Flight Simulation

• Staying Stable: Focus on keeping the rocket centered and stable during the simulation for more space and time to avoid asteroids. In case of errors, force close the app before exiting the simulation.

Building Reputation

• Positive Reviews: Strive for excellent peer reviews on your publications and mission performances. Publications can come from deciphered messages, discovered cosmic anomalies, and mission-acquired artifacts. Remember to publish them from the discoveries tab. If you receive negative reviews or a reputation drop, utilize the restart trick.

“Eureka” Achievement

While publications can now be nominated for the Nobel Prize after the update, a bug currently prevents the “Eureka” achievement from being recognized.

Staying Alive

• Smart Choices: During missions, make informed decisions and avoid risky actions like taking drugs or igniting things near methane.
• RNG Factor: High chances of death might indicate consistently poor choices or simply bad luck.

Ranks

• Cadet
• Captain
• Major
• General
