===Parameters===
These are the most commonly-used parameters. The template accepts all parameters that {{tl|Infobox person}} does. To see a complete list of those parameters, see [[Template:Infobox person/doc#Parameters|here]].

{{Aligned table
| class = wikitable
| row1header = y
| cols = 2
| col1style = font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;padding-right:1.0em;
| {{noitalic|Parameter}} | Explanation
| name | Commonly-known name of person (defaults to article name, without disambiguation)
| honorific_prefix | To appear on the line above the person's name
| honorific_suffix | To appear on the line below the person's name
| image | A picture of or including the person. Use file name only, without the [[bracket]]s and File: or Image: prefix (abc.jpg, xyz.png, etc.)
| image_size | Size to display image: ''200px'' (set width), ''x300px'' (set height), or ''200x300px'' (max width & max height). This defaults to ''frameless'' (default is 220px, but logged in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size) if empty or omitted. This parameter should not normally need to be set.
| alt | Alternative text for image, for visually impaired readers (see [[WP:ALT]])
| caption | Caption to accompany image. If a (portrait) photograph of the person, try to include date of photo and photographer's name.
| type | Sponsoring agency (NASA, RKA, ESA, CSA, etc.) plus "Astronaut" ("Cosmonaut" for RKA) for professionals; Payload Specialist, Tourist, etc. for other flyers.
| native_name | Name in the person's [[native language]]. If more than one, separate using {{tl|plainlist}}.
| native_name_lang | [[ISO 639-1]] two-letter code for person's native language (e.g. "fr" for French). If more than one, use {{tl|lang}} in {{para|native_name}} instead.
| nationality | Nationality. Use only when necessary per [[WP:INFONAT]], [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (icons)#Biographical use|Do not use a flag template]].
| citizenship | Citizenship. Use only when necessary per [[WP:INFONAT]].
| status | Status of involvement with an astro/cosmonaut corps (e.g. Active, Retired, Dismissed); applies only to ''living'' persons. Remove upon death; do not put "dead" or circumstances of death.
| birth_name | Name at birth, if different than ''name''
| birth_date | Date of birth. If the person is living, use {{tl|Birth date and age}}, {{tl|Birth-date and age}}, or {{tl|Birth year and age}}. If deceased, use {{tl|Birth date}} or {{tl|Birth-date}}. Use plain text for partial dates. Example: <nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1950|8|26}}</nowiki> if born August 26, 1950 Example: <nowiki>{{Birth date and age|df=yes|1950|8|26}}</nowiki> to display birth date as 26 August 1950
| birth_place | Place of birth (town/city, state/province, country).
| death_date | Date of death. If the date of birth is known, use {{tl|Death date and age}}, {{tl|Death-date and age}}, or {{tl|Death year and age}}. Otherwise, use {{tl|Death date}} or {{tl|Death-date}}. Use plain text for partial dates. Example: <nowiki>{{Death date and age|1993|2|24|1950|8|26}}</nowiki> if died February 24, 1993 and born August 26, 1950 Example: <nowiki>{{Death date and age|df=yes|1993|2|24|1941|4|12}}</nowiki> to display death date as 24 February 1993
| death_place | Place of death (town/city, state/province, country).
| resting_place | Location where person buried, ashes interred/scattered, etc.
| resting_place_coords | Precise coordinates for place of burial, ash-scattering etc. Use {{tl|coord}} template.
| other_names | If person used/known by names other than those already given.
| occupation | Occupation or occupations other than as an astro/cosmonaut.
| current_occupation | Current occupation if not still an astro/cosmonaut.
| previous_occupation | Occupation before becoming an astro/cosmonaut.
| education | Education, e.g., degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant. If very little information is available or relevant, the {{para|alma_mater}} parameter may be more appropriate.
| alma_mater | ''[[Alma mater]]''. This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) {{para|education}} and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools). For astro/cosmonauts, it is usually used when the degree earned is unknown.
| rank | ''Military'' rank (if any).
| space_time | Total time (to date) person has spent in space, in days, hours, minutes.
| selection | Training group(s) the astronaut was selected for, including year. If the group does not have a standalone wiki page, link to <nowiki>[[List of astronauts by year of selection]]</nowiki>. {{flatlist |
* Examples: [[NASA Astronaut Group 17|NASA Group 17 (1998)]]
* [[List of astronauts by year of selection#2009|2009 CSA Group]]
* [[List of astronauts by year of selection#2018|2018 Cosmonaut Group]]

| evas | Total number of [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]]s.
| eva_time | Total time of all EVAs when combined, in hours, minutes
| missions {{nobold|or:}} mission | ''Completed'' or ''in-progress'' space mission or missions in which the person has taken or is taking part. Do not enter future missions: crew assignments can change prior to launch.

| retirement | Date when person retired from astro/cosmonaut activity.
| awards | Any awards person has received.
| memorials | Any monuments or memorials to the person.
| website {{nobold|or: }}url | Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under <nowiki>==External links==</nowiki> in the body of the article. Use {{tl|URL}} as in <nowiki>{{URL|Example.com}}</nowiki>. Do not include the <code>www.</code> part unless the server requires it. Use [[camel case]] capitalization to make multiword domain names easier to read.
| module | Used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see [[#module|below]] for more details).
| child | For embedding this infobox into another (see [[#child|below]] for more details).

{{Anchor|module}}

=== Embedding other templates via ''module'' parameter===
The ''module'' parameter is used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see [[Wikipedia:Infobox modules]]). For example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">
{{Infobox astronaut
| name =
| 
| module =
{{Infobox football biography |embed=yes
| 
}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

{{Anchor|child}}

===Use as an embedded template via ''child'' parameter===
The ''child'' parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another. It can then be placed under the module paramter inside the other infobox
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: auto">
