Die Astronautin was a private German human spaceflight program with the goal of sending the first German woman into space by 2023 via a short-duration flight to the International Space Station. The program was launched by a German private initiative in March 2016, when it sent out a call for German women to apply for a mission to the ISS. In 2024, it was reported that the project had failed. However, unrelated to this initiative, on the Fram2 mission in 2025, Rabea Rogge became the first female German astronaut.
