NASA’s Mars 2020 mission is going to be historic in many ways, and as is often the case with high-profile missions, the space agency has done its best to get the public involved. A contest to name the Mars 2020 rover has been ongoing for months, with submissions from K-12 students going through several rounds of judging before being narrowed down to just a handful of potential candidates.
Now, with the launch of the mission rapidly approaching, NASA is finally ready to announce the winner of the contest and the name of the shiny new Mars rover. It’s a big deal, so NASA is pulling out all the stops, hosting a live event on NASA’s streaming channel on Thursday, March 5th.
