Name the Lunar Rover “Athabasca”
November 20, 2024 - December 20, 2024
From Nov 20 2024 to Dec 20 2024, the Canadian Space Agency is asking Canadians to vote on the name for the new lunar rover.
Canada’s first lunar rover will navigate the surface of the Moon to test and demonstrate key systems like surface mobility, telecommunications, and dust mitigation. It will allow scientists to better understand the lunar geology and environment, and will help in the international search for water ice.
The Canadian Space Agency wants its name to be representative of the mission or to allude to Canada’s legacy or future in space. The rover will be the first in a series of anticipated lunar rovers, and its name should be inspirsing!
