Most space agencies name crewed spacecraft, probes, rovers, telescopes, etc after fairly non-controversial scientists or concepts. It could be argued that the space shuttle Columbia and Apollo 11 command module Columbia were named after Columbus, but technically they were named in honour of the first American ship to circumnavigate the world, so that's more of a grey area.
