I think its better than Sputnik which makes even less sense (space program aside) since it translates to "travelling companion" in Russian I believe.
Mercury would have been the better choice from the space program names in the US since he was the "Flash" winged messenger in mythology.
Still, I'm not sure why calling it what it was like "Operation: COVID Response" or "Operation: Develop me a damn shot before I get sick" wouldn't have been fine.
