We just hide those expectations and love in every name.
(1) "Shenzhou" Flying Sky
As my country's "first ship", the name of "Shenzhou" can be regarded as going through many obstacles along the way, picking out names that are either gorgeous or foreign, and finally The best one.
At that time, those who participated in the "draft" included "Tenglong", "Huaxia", "Jiuzhou", etc. If you look closely, you will see that each one is very china, so why is it among the many outstanding names? What about choosing "Shenzhou"?
Shenzhou, as the name suggests, is not actually a magical ship, but a "magical boat on the Tianhe River". Not only is it homophonic to "Shenzhou (vast land)", it also means high spirits. Giving this name to our country's first ship hopes that our country's aerospace industry can shine and shine forever~
(2) "Chang'e" flies to the moon
Passing Go beyond the atmosphere and head towards Chinese romance. The name of my country's lunar exploration project originated from the mythical story "Chang'e flying to the moon" that is well-known in ancient and modern times. The ancients' yearning for the moon is hidden in myths and stories, and our yearning for the moon is hidden in the lunar exploration project. Those things that the ancients wanted to do but failed to do, we have taken an important step with persistence.
(3) The "Jade Rabbit" flies into the sky and falls on the moon
If Shenzhou and Chang'e are widely known existences, the origin of the Jade Rabbit seems to be more subtle. As the patrol device of the Chang'e-3 lunar probe, its name was chosen after thousands of choices (recommended by 650,000 netizens around the world).
In the mythical story of Chang'e flying to the moon, Chang'e was holding a pure little rabbit in her arms when she ran to the moon. The pure and beautiful image of the little rabbit coincides with everyone's expectations for the lunar rover, which also means that our country will use space resources peacefully. And now, that ignorant "Jade Rabbit" has turned into the little rabbit who has seen the most stars.
(4) The "Magpie Bridge" meeting between the Earth and the Moon
In 2018, the relay satellite that provides relevant communication support for the Chang'e-4 probe was officially named "Magpie Bridge". Once upon a time, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met romantically at Magpie Bridge. The ancient Magpie Bridge provides a "path of love" for lovers, and today's "Magpie Bridge" establishes a "space Magpie Bridge" for communication between Chang'e 4 and the ground.
(5) "Big Dipper" guides the way
Move the small stool to support the window and teach you about the Big Dipper in the sky. The Big Dipper is an important astrolabe used to identify directions in ancient my country. It has been an important guiding star in my country since ancient times. The satellite navigation system independently built by our country is named "Beidou", which means that although our country has gone through many difficulties and dangers, it will always move towards glory and splendor under the guidance of the guiding star.
(6) "Wukong" has piercing eyes
Wukong in "Journey to the West" has piercing eyes and can distinguish all kinds of monsters and monsters. my country's dark matter detection satellite is named "Wukong", hoping that Monkey King can identify traces of dark matter in the vast starry sky and bring some new discoveries.
In addition, our country also has various romantic "aerospace exclusives", such as "Yinghuo" - Mars exploration satellite; "Mozi" - quantum experimental satellite; "Kuafu Project" - —Sun Detection Satellite Project....
So, what is romantic is not the space name, but the lovely Chinese people.
