Deus et nomen curruum ad lunam (6)

I believe the answer is:

apollo

(Other definitions for apollo that I've seen before include "Lad who's striking" , "US space program" , "Greek sun god and leader of the Muses" , "American space programme for landing men on moon" , "handsome fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
