Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL)

Three groups of astronauts were selected by the Air Force for the MOL program. This would have been the first US space station. Like the X-20, the program was cancelled before it was ever flown. A number of the astronauts were subsequently selected NASA in Group 7.

DoD Manned Spaceflight Engineers

Thirty-two military Manned Spaceflight Engineers (MSE) were selected and trained to accompany Department of Defense satellites on shuttle missions. Several were selected for missions, but only two ever flew in space. The program was cancelled in 1988 following the Challenger disaster.

NASA Fellow Lady Astronaut Trainees (FLAT) (1960)

Thirteen women were selected and enrolled in unofficial astronaut training. They were never officially declared astronaut candidates nor assigned to any flights. Fearing negative publicity if a woman was killed or injured during training or an actual flight, NASA ended the program in 1963. The reason given was that the program would drain scarce resources from the male astronauts.
