International astronauts are those
individuals from international space agencies
who have trained at Johnson Space Center
and serve as mission specialists with NASA. Active
international astronauts are those international astronauts who
are assigned to duties at the Johnson Space
Center. Those international astronauts who
are not located at the Johnson Space Center
and have been reassigned by their space agency
to other duties in their space programs are also annotated accordingly
below. Some of these reassignments are of rotational nature, and
those international astronauts may, on a case by case basis, return
to the active status with NASA in the future.
