NASA program whose name would have been apt for solar probe missions (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apollo

(Other definitions for apollo that I've seen before include "Greek (and Roman) god of light, poetry etc" , "handsome chap" , "Lad who's striking" , "Fair youth" , "US moon landing programme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
