The four astronauts on NASA's Artemis II are currently on their way to the moon, but they will not be receiving any overtime pay due to their government-employee status. According to NASA, astronauts are paid according to the "general services" pay scale, which is how federal officials determine a government employee's salary. The agency stated that astronauts should make around $152,258 per year, adjusted to reflect increases over the years. While these astronauts may not make much compared to most professions, some are paid more than most government employees. The Canadian Space Agency also has a similar pay structure based on levels for its astronauts.
