question 3 (1 point)
_______ is the official term used by nasa and the russian federal space agency to distinguish between private space travelers and career astronauts.
independent researcher
space tourist
spaceflight participant

Explanation:

NASA and the Russian federal space agency use "spaceflight participant" to distinguish private space travelers (who may not have full - fledged astronaut training in the traditional sense for career astronauts) from career astronauts. "Independent researcher" is more about a research role rather than a space - travel categorization term in this context. "Space tourist" is a more general and perhaps less official - sounding term compared to the specific "spaceflight participant" which is an official designation.

Answer:

Spaceflight participant
