NASA Astronaut Group 16 ("The Sardines") was a group of 44 astronauts announced by NASA on May 1, 1996. The class was nicknamed "The Sardines" for being such a large class, humorously implying that their training sessions would be as tightly packed as sardines in a can. These 44 candidates compose the largest astronaut class to date. NASA selected so many candidates in preparation for the anticipated need for ISS crew members, along with regular shuttle needs. Nine of the 44 astronauts selected were from other countries including 5 from Europe and 2 from Canada and Japan.

  • Le Groupe d'astronautes 16 a été annoncé par la NASA le 1er mai 1996. Il a été surnommée "The Sardines" à cause du grand nombre d'astronautes sélectionnés, impliquant de façon humoristique que leurs séances d'entraînement risquaient d'être aussi serrées que des sardines en boîte. Les 44 candidats composent la plus nombreuse classe d'astronautes de la NASA. Le nombre important est lié à l'anticipation de nombreuses missions vers l'ISS, ainsi que des besoins d'équipages de la navette spatiale. (fr)
  • The Sardines was de bijnaam van NASA's zestiende astronautengroep, die in 1996 werd geselecteerd. De groep had de bijnaam te danken aan het feit dat het de grootste groep kandidaat-astronauten was die NASA ooit selecteerde. De reden voor het hoge aantal was de verwachte ISS-missies die naast de reguliere Shuttle-vluchten bemand moesten worden. De groep bestond uit: (nl)
  • Il NASA Astronaut Group 16 (The Sardines) è stato annunciato il 1º maggio del 1996 ed è stato il gruppo più numeroso mai selezionato. Furono necessari così tanti astronauti per adempiere ai progetti relativi alla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale. (it)

  • El NASA Astronaut Group 16 va ser un grup de 44 astronautes anunciat per la NASA l'1 de maig de 1996. La classe va rebre el sobrenom humorístic de "Les sardines" per ser una classe tan gran, motiu pel qual les seves sessions d'entrenament estaven tan atapeïdes com les sardines en una llauna. Aquests 44 candidats van compondre la classe d'astronautes més gran fins ara. La NASA va seleccionar un nombre tan gran de candidats en preparació per a la necessitat prevista de nous membres de la tripulació de l'ISS, juntament amb les necessitats de llançadora habituals. Nou dels 44 astronautes seleccionats eren d'altres països, inclosos 5 d'Europa i 2 de Canadà i Japó. (ca)
