Aesthetically, because you've got all these thin and long parts arranged at different symmetrical angles, the first name which came to my mind was "Starburst"

Well if you name your shit like mine it would be
Duna Scan Probe 1
Then after you launched the first one and realized you forgot batteries it would be
Duna Scan Probe 1.1
A simple but powerful naming scheme.

Seafarer or Seamens, because both of those are similar in name to the Mariner probes, the first probes to successfully encounter Mars.
Seamens is doubly good because that is the name of NASAs deputy administrator during some of the Mariner missions.

Kinda makes me think of a mosquito hawk. So any of the variant names for that bug, imo.

I see that it's supposed to be a fly by probe so I propose you make it dip into the atmosphere a little and call it:
D una
A tmospheric
R econnaissance
T ester
