Where a astronaut can go next

2 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a astronaut already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Astronauts are crew members commanding spacecrafts for operations beyond low Earth orbit or higher than the regular altitude reached by commercial flights. They orbit the Earth in order to perform operations such as scientific research and experiments, launching or release of satellites, and building of space stations.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a astronaut already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
