The multidisciplinarity of the workforce at NASA (astrophysicists, astrochemists, chemists, physicists, planetary scientists, theoreticians, astronomers) makes it a unique environment for doing Laboratory Astrophysics research.

The estimated total pay for a Astrophysicist at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is $116,730 per year. This number represents the median, which is the midpoint of the ranges from our proprietary Total Pay Estimate model and based on salaries collected from our users. The estimated base pay is $116,730 per year.

The typical workday for an astrophysicist in a research setting includes analyzing and interpreting data. They spend some of their time using research tools to gather additional information. Astrophysicists may also work on a research team, often collaborating on research techniques or results.

Overall employment of physicists and astronomers is projected to grow 5 percent from 2022 to 2032, faster than the average for all occupations. About 1,500 openings for physicists and astronomers are projected each year, on average, over the decade.

Because astrophysicists require such expensive equipment to do their job, their employers are generally limited to large colleges or government agencies.

Some examples of software used in astrophysics include: Simulation software, such as GADGET and RAMSES, which are used to model the behavior of galaxies and other astronomical objects. Data analysis software, such as IDL and Python, which are used to analyze data from telescopes and other astronomical instruments.

Karl Gordon Henize, an astronomer who worked with the Apollo program and later flew on the space shuttle. Ronald Grabe, an astronomer who flew on three space shuttle missions. John Grunsfeld, an astronomer/astrophysicist who has flown on five space shuttle missions.

Answer: Astronomers use a variety of programming languages to process the measurements that they make and to develop theoretical simulations of astrophysical phenomena. I would say that the majority of astronomers use C, C++, and Python in their research.
