Name for a spacecraft?


Kimera Industries

Recommended Posts

So I need ideas for a spacecraft name. Short summary, it's an alternate reality Soviet Minmus landing. Be it Russian, English, or gibberish, I need something that sounds cool. If you need more context, it's landing 3 kerbals on Minmus, Apollo style, from a sort of N1 rocket.

Here's the post I'll be putting this on:

And here's the flag I designed, if it helps.

I like to use names from mythology.
E.g. Greek https://www.greeklegendsandmyths.com/a---atoz-greek-mythology.html
Norse https://issuu.com/bloomsburypublishing/docs/glossary_extract/9

If you go for a Soviet feel maybe use Slavic names?

If you look at real Soviet names they would probably have named it 'Minmus 1' or 'Minera 1' (analogues to Luna 1, Venera 1, Mars 1 etc).

Considering it's a crewed mission, maybe something like "дальний" meaning far, or "внешний" meaning outer, as it's in keeping with the other Soviet crewed programs, Vostok (East), Voskhod (Sunrise), Soyuz (Union), and Zond (Probe).
