12月27日,在“航天小鼠飞天记”主题科普活动上,科研团队公布了4只“太空小鼠”的新名字——“望天”“逐梦”“追云”“揽月”。
它们还拥有了专属卡通形象,4只小鼠身着白色航天服,胸前标注了各自的编号。
A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed the names of the four mice, which were part of a recent mission aboard China's space station, during a public science event on Saturday. The mice have been named Wangtian, Lanyue, Zhuiyun, and Zhumeng, which respectively translate to "gaze at the sky," "reach for the moon," "chase the clouds" and "follow the dream".

10月31日,编号6、98、154、186的4只小鼠搭乘神舟二十一号载人飞船飞往中国空间站,并在历经14天太空之旅后返回地面,中国空间站的首次哺乳动物空间科学实验顺利开展。科研团队在围绕小鼠开展科学研究的同时,也不忘为它们取名。
On Oct 31, the four mice — numbered 6, 98, 154 and 186 — were chosen from 48 candidates and flown aboard the Shenzhou XXI crewed spacecraft to their temporary habitat in space. During the mission, Xinhua invited the public to propose names for the mice, with the final selections based on popular submissions online.
“从从、容容、游刃、有余”“星宝、探路者、广寒鼠、鼠天将”“繁荣、昌盛、国泰、民安”……在前期的公开征名活动中,广大网友开动脑筋,提供了很多有趣、有新意、富有感情的命名方案。现在,它们的名字尘埃落定。
“我们看到有网友评论,认为新名字富含诗意,也结合了中国传统文化,充满了中国式浪漫与探索精神。”中国科学院动物研究所副研究员李天达说,“太空小鼠”的实验从构想到现实,前后历时近10年。目前,科研团队正在围绕“太空小鼠”紧锣密鼓地开展后续科研工作。“在这个过程中,我深刻理解了载人航天精神的内涵,对我来说,这是一次难忘的历程。”

在接下来的1个月里,作为“太空小鼠”地面对照组的两只小鼠以及它们繁育的后代,将在国家动物博物馆与公众见面。它们的“太空宿舍”——小型哺乳动物饲养装置,和它们乘坐神二十一飞船返回地球时所处的下行生保支持装置,也同步亮相。
