Wukong, Tiangong, Tianwen... Do you know where the names of Chinese space programmes come from?
The Wukong Satellite, the Dark Matter Particle Explorer(暗物质粒子探测卫星), is named after the Chinese superhero the Monkey King. According to *Journey to the West*, the Monkey King has a pair of sharp eyes which can tell the difference between good and evil. The Wukong Satellite is just as sharp-eyed as the Monkey King to help scientists search for dark matter in space.
The name of the space station, Tiangong, means "Heavenly Palace". In Chinese myths, this is the home of Tian Di. Now the Tiangong Space Station is a home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to the Tiangong Space Station so that they can work together.
Tianwen, China's Mars missions, gets its name from the poem *Tianwen* by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet from ancient China. In *Tianwen*, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for truth. Perhaps the Tianwen missions will end up answering some of Qu Yuan's questions.
If you look into more names of Chinese space programmes, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, the Chinese people, have a long-cherished(珍藏已久的) space dream. So the naming of Chinese space programmes is taken very seriously.
