How did they name the Apollo space missions?
PARTIAL ANSWER:NASA Hq. Office of Manned Space Flight informed KSC, MSFC, and MSC of approved designations for Apollo and Apollo Applications missions:all Apollo missions would be numbered sequentially in the order flown, with the next mission to be designated Apollo 4, the following one Apollo 5, etc., andthe Apollo Applications missions would be designated sequentially as AAP-1, AAP-2, etc. The number designations would not differentiate between manned and unmanned or uprated Saturn I and Saturn V missions. In a letter to George E. Mueller, OMSF, on March 30, MSC Deputy Director George M. Low offered two suggestions, in keeping with the intent of the NASA instruction yet keeping the designation Apollo 1 for spacecraft 012. NASA Hq. had approved that designation before the January 27 fire claimed the lives of Astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White II, and Roger B. Chaffee; and their widows requested that the designation be retained. The suggestions were:Consider the AS-201, 202, and 203 missions part of the Saturn I (as opposed to uprated Saturn I) series; reserve the designation Apollo 1 for spacecraft 012; and number the following flights Apollo 2, etc., orDesignate the next flight Apollo 4, as indicated by Headquarters, but apply the scheme somewhat differently for missions already flown. Specifically, put the Apollo 1 designation on spacecraft 012 and then, for historic purposes, designate 201 as mission 1-a, 202 as mission 2 and 203 as mission 3.A memorandum to the NASA space flight Centers, North American Aviation, and certain Headquarters personnel from the NASA Assistant Administrator for Public Affairs on April 3 stated that the Project Designation Committee had approved the Office of Manned Space Flight's recommendations and that Mueller had begun implementation of the designations.On April 24, OMSF further instructed the Centers that AS-204 would be officially recorded as Apollo 1, "first manned Apollo Saturn flight - failed on ground test." AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203 would not be renumbered in the "Apollo" series, and the next mission would be Apollo 4. -from astronautix.comStarting with Apollo 9 the crew was allowed to choose the call sign of the Lunar Module and the Command Module. The NASA Project Designation Committee determined the letter designation given to each flight. There were 7 flight designations from type "A" through "J" depending on the type of flight, i.e. Manned Lunar Landing was given the designation of "G".

How does the Greek letter designation of the star give you clues both to its location and its brightness?
The Greek letters were given by Bayer in an early star catalogue, where the brightest star in each constellation was called alpha, with the Latin name of the constellation in the genitive (possessive) case. So the bright star called Capella in Auriga is also called Alpha Aurigae, which means 'Alpha of Auriga'. The Greek letter gives a rough idea of the brightness . . if there is a star called 'omega' in any constellation it would definitely be a dim one. As to "location", I can't see there is any clue about that.
Does the sun have another name?
there are many words for it in diffrent languages: dielli - albanianشمس - arabiczon - dutchслънце - bulgariansol - catalanslnko - Slovakсунце - serbianOr... you can ask the dictionary:(often initial capital letter) the star that is the central body of the solar system, around which the planets revolve and from which they receive light and heat: its mean distance from the earth is about 93 million miles (150 million km), its diameter about 864,000 miles (1.4 million km), and its mass about 330,000 times that of the earth; its period of surface rotation is about 26 days at its equator but longer at higher latitudes...........I prefer 'sun'

What does a stars Greek letter designation tell us that its ancient Arabic name?
The Greek letter designation is a Greek letter followed but the possessive form of the constellation name (for example, alpha-Orionus). In most cases (Ursa Major being a notable exception), the brightest star in a constellation designated with the Greek letter alpha, the second-brightest with the Greek letter beta, and so on. Thus the Greek letter designation gives information about both relative brightness and location. There is no connection between the Greek letter designation and ancient Arabic names.
