On February 12, 2025, the China Manned Space Agency announced the official names for the spacesuit and the lunar rover(月球车) for China’s manned lunar exploration mission(载人月球探测任务). The spacesuit is named “Wangyu” (meaning “gazing at the universe”), and the lunar rover is named “Tansuo” (meaning “exploration”).
The name “Wangyu” symbolizes the astronauts’ mission to explore space and the moon, reflecting China’s plan to move from space station missions to lunar exploration. It also highlights China’s peaceful use of space and its commitment to building a shared future for humanity. The name connects to the “Feitian” spacesuits used in space station missions, showing continuity in China’s space program.
The “Tansuo” lunar rover is designed to assist astronauts in exploring the moon. It can carry two astronauts, move quickly over rough terrain, and support navigation, safety, communication, and scientific tasks. The rover’s name reflects its role in helping uncover the moon’s mysteries.
The names were chosen from over 9,000 entries in a public competition, blending Chinese culture with modern spirit. They follow a tradition of naming spacecraft, such as “Chang’e” and “Yutu”, which connect traditional culture with modern technology.
