"Hangtian No. 1"

As the investigation has little relation with the space flight or similar expressions, you are recommended to keep it in Chinese Pinyin, which will also facilitate relevant communication between related people internationally...

Hope it helps.

You can of coz translate it into Sspace flight or similar expressions in English, but it will be a little rediculous and confusing...

* A recent news about the product:
http://news.sina.com.cn/s/2006-10-13/103110227002s.shtml

I recommend a loyalty translation to the product* here.

We may add a footnote to the page or even use the full official name - "Spaceflight No. 1 Formaldehyde" to emphasize its use.

Thank you.

Note from asker:
Thank you Fiona! I did as you suggested, using a footnote. Thank you again for your advice.
