This is a list of space travellers by first flight. The table is listed in chronological order from the date of first flight. The table adheres to a common definition of a space traveller; the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale criterion of achieving an altitude higher than &#;km (62&#;mi; ,&#;ft), thereby crossing the FAI-defined Kármán line.
