Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 11-09-2022 08:00 PM European Space Agency (ESA) release <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]Announcement of ESA Astronaut Class of 2022[/b]</font> ESA's new class of astronauts will be announced on Wednesday, 23 November 2022 at the Grand Palais Éphémère (GPE) in Paris. The new class will include career astronauts, reserve astronauts as well as astronauts with a physical disability for a feasibility project. In 2021, ESA opened the vacancy notices for the roles of astronaut and astronaut with a physical disability. This was the first call for new astronaut applicants since 2008. In response, ESA received more than 22,500 valid applications for the role of astronaut from across Member States and Associate Members. For the role of astronaut with a physical disability, 257 applications were received. ESA aims to recruit four to six career astronauts who will join the ESA astronaut corps. In addition to recruiting astronauts into the existing corps, ESA will for the first time also establish an astronaut reserve. This reserve will be composed of the candidates who were successful throughout the entire selection process and were not recruited. Astronauts in the reserve will remain employed by their current employers. ESA had also published a dedicated vacancy notice to select individuals with physical disabilities for the astronaut reserve.</blockquote>
