I think you are an indian,you can study astro-physics  after your first degree.This first degree has to be in physics if you want to become a researcher and you need to develop you mathematical skills.You can also try the engineering side, to work in  the maintenance, design sections.

.But children like you can help to develop india or make our own isro powerful and even greater than that of nasa.

Best of luck in your life.

Answer 4

You need to get really good grades in everything, because working for NASA is very competitive. Concentrate on math and science, of course, but do not neglect your other courses, as they all teach you to think. Thinking clearly is imperative for an astrophysicist. Get advice from your guidance counselor when you get to high school. You'll need to go advanced math and science all the way. Don't forget to get involved and have some fun, too, like in scouts, or sports, or clubs.
