So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites(卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired(赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.
Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang' e flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China's first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang' e I. More interestingly, the moon rover(巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang' e in the story. These old stories carry people' s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true.
Kuafu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kuafu is going with the scientists to"visit" the sun, because we have a space project called Kunfu Mission.
Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mori, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China's first quantum(量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground.
From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology(科技).
