Someone who is trained to work on a spacecraft.

An Astronaut is someone who is trained to work on a spacecraft.

Since 1961, 600 astronauts have flown in space.[1] Until 2002, astronauts were sponsored and trained exclusively by governments, either by the military or by civilian space agencies. With the suborbital flight of the privately funded SpaceShipOne in 2004, a new category of astronaut was created: the commercial astronaut.

The first human in space was Soviet Yuri Gagarin, who was launched on 12 April 1961, aboard Vostok 1 and orbited around the Earth for 108 minutes.
