LONDON (AP) - The U.K. Space Agency is looking for a catchy name for the ExoMars Rover being developed for use in a mission set for 2020.
The agency launched a competition Friday to find the best name for the rover, a key U.K. contribution to the European Space Agency’s Mars voyage.
The winner won’t get a trip to Mars - that would take far too long.
However, the winner will win the chance to take three guests on a tour of the Airbus facility in Stevenage, around 30 miles (48 kms) north of London, where the rover is being built.
The rover is a six-wheeled robot that will search for evidence of past or even present life.
The contest is open to residents of countries belonging to the European Space Agency.
