Name That Node!

astronautI know, it sounds kinda funny…but this could be very, very cool for you. The people at NASA are looking for some help in naming a new section of the International Space Station. Technically it’s called a module, but the quick and easy name that’s commonly used is a ‘node,’ and this is temporarily being labeled Node 3.

Node 1 is called Unity, and Node 2 was actually named by some school students; they called it Harmony. Now, the newest node will act as a control tower for robot technology (cool!) and a giant observation deck, and NASA is looking for suggestions for a name. They’ve offered Earthrise, Legacy, Serenity, and Venture…but they’re also open to your suggestion.

Tell your friends about it, let your teachers know about it, and see if you can’t get your school involved. This will take you to NASA’s site and give you all the information. Good luck!
