From minimum to maximum, the NASA program can accommodate those ranging from just under 5 feet to 6 feet 4 inches in height.For pilot astronauts, (those in charge of operating the spacecraft), height must be between 64 and 76 inches so they can reach all the cockpit controls of the spacecraft.Payload specialists and mission specialist must both be between 58.5 and 76 inches in height.Astronauts must also maintain a healthy weight, proportional to their height. A look at other space programs around the world shows similar requirements.To be accepted into the European Space Agency, astronauts must have a height of 153 to 190 cm or 5 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 2 inches.rom minimum to maximum, the NASA program can accommodate those ranging from just under 5 feet to 6 feet 4 inches in height. For pilot astronauts, (those in charge of operating the spacecraft), height must be between 64 and 76 inches so they can reach all the cockpit controls of the spacecraft.
