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.
Many astronauts, however, come from the military, and like anyone in the armed forces, theyâre awarded a pay grade based on active duty status. A colonel or captain, for example, is commissioned at an O-6 pay grade. After eight years of service, they would earn $7,193 a month, or $86,316 a year, as of 2011.
