The European Space Agency is asking
people to choose a name for British astronaut Tim Peake's next mission. Any person within Europe can take part and the winning entry needs to be snappy and it will be the official mission name, incorporated into the logo.
Major Tim Peake is due to go to the ISS towards the end of 2015 and will spend six months carrying out scientific experiments in a zero gravity environment. This actually happens each time a European astronaut goes into orbit. They encourage names that reflect an astronaut's nationality are encouraged, but they should also have a wider European flavour, and be easy to pronounce.
Tim Peake also wants to prioritise getting other people involved and engaged in the mission similar to how Chris Hadfield, former Commander of the ISS did during his stay aboard the ISS.
