Question: Are Samantha Cristoforetti and Claude Nicollier both astronauts?

Context paragraphs:
Claude Nicollier: Claude Nicollier (born 2 September 1944 in Vevey, Switzerland) is the first astronaut from Switzerland.  He has flown on four Space Shuttle missions.  His first spaceflight (STS-46) was in 1992, and his final spaceflight (STS-103) was in 1999.  He took part in two servicing missions to the Hubble Space Telescope (called STS-61 and STS-103).  During his final spaceflight he participated in a spacewalk, becoming the first European Space Agency astronaut to do so during a Space Shuttle mission (previous ESA astronauts conducted spacewalks aboard "Mir", see List of spacewalks and moonwalks 1965–1999).  In 2000 he was assigned to the Astronaut Office Extravehicular Activity Branch, while maintaining a position as Lead ESA Astronaut in Houston.  Nicollier retired from ESA in April 2007.

NASA Astronaut Group 9: NASA Astronaut Group 9 was announced on May 29, 1980, and completed their training by 1981.  This group, composed of 19 candidates, was selected to supplement the 35 astronauts that had been selected in 1978, and marked the first time that non-Americans were trained as mission specialists with the selections of ESA astronauts Claude Nicollier and Wubbo Ockels.  In keeping with the previous group, astronaut candidates were divided into pilots and mission specialists, with eight pilots, eleven mission specialists, and two international mission specialists within the group.

Maximum Absorbency Garment: A Maximum Absorbency Garment (MAG) is a piece of clothing NASA astronauts wear during liftoff, landing, and extra-vehicular activity (EVA) to absorb urine and feces.  It is worn by both male and female astronauts.  Astronauts can urinate into the MAG, and usually wait to defecate when they return to the spacecraft.  However, the MAG is rarely used for this purpose, since the astronauts use the facilities of the station before EVA and also time the consumption of the in-suit water.  Nonetheless, the garment provides peace of mind for the astronauts.
