Linda Ge | March 2, 2016 @ 5:14 PM. ABCâs Kiefer Sutherland drama series âDesignated Survivorâ has cast two new young actors. Tanner Buchanan will be a series regular and McKenna Grace will recur on the drama, which was ordered straight to series in December.
ESA astronauts are ranked as A2 to A4 on the pay scale. That gives a range of $6430 to $10550 a month. The new cosmonaut pay scale ranges from $1830 to $2640 a month. Cosmonauts also negotiate contracts for flights and can be paid $130-$150,000 for a 6 month flight on the ISS.
NASA does not disclose the salaries paid to astronauts, so there's no way of actually knowing how much money an astronaut makes. Further complicating the matter, there's not one salary for astronauts. Here's what we do know. The astronauts who are in the military are on loan from their branch of service.
