These are the nine potential names for the Mars 2020 rover

Students across the US submitted more than 28,000 potential names for NASA's Mars 2020 rover. The nine finalists include: • Endurance • Tenacity • Promise • Perseverance • Vision • Clarity • Ingenuity • Fortitude • Courage

And then there were nine. Students across the US, ranging from kindergarten to high school, submitted more than 28,000 potential names for NASA's Mars 2020 rover. A panel of 4,700 volunteer judges whittled that list down to 155 semifinalists.

Now, there are nine names left standing in the contest. And your vote in an online poll, which is open now through January 27, could help name the next generation of rover that will roam across Mars after it launches this summer. The finalists include:"Thousands of students have shared their ideas for a name that will do our rover and the team proud," said Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division in Washington.
