Mars fan? Chance to name rover
Print Edition
Three possible names for China鈥檚 first Mars rover have come out after a 40-day global online poll.
鈥淶hurong (绁濊瀺),鈥 a fire god in ancient Chinese mythology, tops the list while 鈥淣ezha (鍝悞),鈥 a beloved Chinese mythological figure, and 鈥淗ongyi (寮樻瘏),鈥 which means having a broad and strong mind in Chinese, ranked second and third.
The China National Space Administration in January unveiled a list of 10 selections for the name after a global naming campaign that kicked off in late July 2020. Netizens at home and abroad were invited to vote on 10 candidates from January 20 to February 28.
A panel of experts will also vote for the final candidates. The administration will decide the top three names based on public voting and expert opinions.
