How about 'Ricercar' (pronounced reach-er-car).  It is the English
word for the musical form now called a fugue (a Latin word- through
Italian).  The roots of the word are the same as for 'research', in
fact one of the meanings of the word used to be 'to seek'.

This seems to capture the flavor that the space program should work
for - both artistic and scientific.
