On the naming of Chang'e-4 #moon mission rover, there's been a contest to submit names & vote from a shortlisted 10. However, there's a rumour the name will be completely different from the popular top 3 ('Brightness', 'Wang Shu' & 'Stroller' https://gbtimes.com/online-vote-decides-top-three-names-for-change-4-lunar-far-side-rover … (1/4)pic.twitter.com/QG2Ean6tZw
The rumour is that the follow-up rover to Chang'e-3's Yutu/Jade Rabbit will be named Qian Xuesen, for the scientist who drove China's space & military rocketry efforts after return to China after studying at MIT & Caltech due to McCarthyism. But why? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qian_Xuesen … (2/4)pic.twitter.com/PqHFZmvYTw
The Chang'e-4 mission will target the Von Kármán crater in the South Pole-Aitken Basin and, if successful, be the 1st ever landing on the lunar far side. Herein lies the reason, if the rover named as such, for choosing Qian Xuesen over the publicly nominated&selected names (3/4)pic.twitter.com/XiLQqmDZUr
Von Kármán crater is named for Hungarian-US aerospace engineer/physicist Theodore von Kármán (of Kármán line fame), who Qian studied under at Caltech & co-founded JPL. Thus Chang'e-4 would see student return to learn from the master once more. We'll find out this month. (4/4)pic.twitter.com/a3LA4WPDK6
