Kumpulan 2 Angkasawan NASA (bahasa Inggeris: NASA Astronaut Group 2), juga dikenali sebagai Sembilan Seterusnya (bahasa Inggeris: Next Nine) dan Sembilan Baru (bahasa Inggeris: New Nine), merupakan kumpulan kedua angkasawan yang dipilih oleh Pentadbiran Aeronautik dan Angkasa Kebangsaan (NASA). Pemilihan mereka diumumkan pada 17 September 1962. Kumpulan tersebut menambah Mercury Tujuh. Presiden John F. Kennedy telah mengumumkan Projek Apollo, pada 25 Mei 1961, dengan matlamat hebat meletakkan seseorang di Bulan menjelang akhir dekad, dan lebih ramai angkasawan diperlukan untuk menerbangi pesawat Gemini dua orang dan pesawat Apollo tiga orang kemudian di bawah pembangunan. Mercury Tujuh telah dipilih untuk melaksanakan tugas mudah penerbangan orbit tetapi cabaran baru pertemuan angkasa dan pendaratan Bulan membawa kepada pemilihan calon dengan ijazah kejuruteraan lanjutan (untuk empat daripada sembilan) serta pengalaman juruterbang ujian.
