A competition to name Australia’s lunar rover:
The Australian Space Agency, in partnership with NASA, is working with Australia’s space industry to design and build an Australian-made rover. The rover will go to the Moon as part of a future Artemis mission by as early as 2026. Australians can enter a name that will be in the running to be selected for the rover. Individuals and schools across Australia can enter a rover name, along with a brief explanation for choosing it.
