Space traveller altering aunt's rota (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astronaut

'space traveller' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'altering aunt's rota' is the wordplay.
'altering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'aunts'+'rota'='auntsrota'
'auntsrota' anagrammed gives 'ASTRONAUT'.

(Other definitions for astronaut that I've seen before include "Person trained to travel in a spacecraft" , "Skier" , "For member of high-flying mission" , "Space voyager" , "Santa tour for space traveller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
