Space Hero is a job or title given to certain Earth Starfleet officers in the 22nd century.

S. Bakula was labeled as "Space Hero" on the directory for the Fleet Operations Center in January 2155. ("Demons" artwork)

It is unknown what the job of a "Space Hero" entails, though it is likely an honorary title for an officer who has distinguished him or herself in space missions. The reference is an in-joke reference to Scott Bakula for his portrayal of "space hero" (and starship captain) Jonathan Archer on Star Trek: Enterprise.
