spanish
the mission was named after the fictional spanish knight from miguel de cervantes' renowned novel, don quixote, who charged against a windmill, thinking it to be a giant. like quixote, the hidalgo spacecraft was to 'attack' an object much larger than itself, hopefull making impressive results. 'sancho' was named after sancho panza, the quixote's squire, who preferred to stay back and watch from a safe distance, which was the role assigned to that probe. finally, the name hidalgo was a minor spanish title (roughly equivalent to a baronet), now obsolete. in the novel, it was the title alonso quijano had even before becoming don quijote.
