NASA is asking the public to help name the International Space Station's next module, Module 3. This module will be a control tower for robotics and the world's ultimate observation deck.
The module will provide room for life support systems and a one-of-a-kind work station with six windows around the sides and one on top to give astronauts a fantastic view of the Earth and space. It will also house a robotics workstation from which astronauts will be able to control the space station's 57-foot robotic arm.
You can vote for the module's name online by choosing one of the four suggested names - Earthrise, Legacy, Serenity, or Venture - or writing in a name. Submissions will be accepted until March 20 and the winning name will be announced on April 28 during the module's unveiling at the Kennedy Space Station in Florida.
