Astronaut Addresses

[admin]

In the past, you could send both active and retired astronauts autograph requests care of NASA. Today, due to the thousands of requests received annually (and the preferences of some of the retired astronauts), the space agency will only respond to requests for those in the current corps.

Autograph requests for astronauts assigned to upcoming flights or currently in training, can be mailed care of:


Name of Astronaut
NASA-JSC
Astronaut Office Mail Code CB
2101 NASA Road 1
Houston, Texas 77058-3696
USA

For your reference, a complete list of the active corps can be found here.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many of the Mercury through Skylab astronauts still answer autograph requests through the mail. The following list (organized by flight order) identifies which do, the preferred address to write to, and whether they now charge a fee.

Unless otherwise stipulated, you must provide your own item to be autographed and sufficient postage (usually a self-addressed stamped envelope) for its return.
