What's the path to becoming a software engineer at NASA?

Question

I'm set on the career of software engineering/development. However, I'm also interested in aeronautics and spaceflight. My dream is to work on projects that involve the nation's air and space programs.

How much of there is a need for software engineers at NASA, and what sort of path can I follow in my life to become a part of that?

(I'm halfway through high school and looking at colleges)

Answer 1

Do NASA only accept US Citizans for job?...Because i am not US Citizen.

I am Java Developer. I completed Master of Science in Information Technology.I also hold two SUN JAVA Certifications.I want to work with NASA since i want to be a part of Real time Space Science projects.I have also started learning a Technology called Java Worldwind that was made by NASA and SUN together.I am learning this technology so that i will create an application that can be used for any Space Science Projects with a hope that one day i will be able to show my application to NASA...and they will recruit me as  Java Developer. I know it sounds filmy...But lets see....i am working hard...and as we know success comes to those who work hard.
