The design for China's first Mars exploration rover has been published and officials are soliciting possible names and logos for the project. The unveiling happened at a news conference in Beijing on Tuesday.

Designers in the world can deliver their ideas through the websites of Xinhua, Tencent, China National Space Administration, China's Lunar and Deep Space Exploration, and the Wechat account of the Mars exploration project before November 10.

Swiss luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer was the first to deliver a logo design.

The rover will be designed to land on the planet, explore the soil, air, environment, water ice distribution, and internal structure of Mars, and send the data back to earth.

The project is scheduled to launch in 2020.
