CBC Kids News asks kids to vote for their favourite on a short list of names for the first Canadian rover to explore the moon.
This is a prototype of Canada’s future lunar rover. The Canadian Space Agency is asking the public to help choose its name. They are controlled remotely.
That means while the rovers are on far away planets, people on Earth are controlling how they move and what they see. This rover will be on a mission to help us better understand the moon’s environment. It will also help in the search for water created by ice. The vote will be taking place between Nov. 20 and Dec. 20 through a poll on the Canadian government's official website. While they each have their own significance, they all are meant to represent Canada and its part in creating the rover.Athabasca is a river that flows through the Rockies and into Alberta. This name would represent Canada’s heritage and could lead to a trend of naming future rovers after other Canadian natural landmarks.Courage means to be brave and do what you believe in.
