As I took a look at this game, I found out that there is a game called Lunar Jetman, and that Solar Jetman was the third in a series of four games.
The first game in the series is Jetpac, released for the ZX Spectrum in 1983 back when Rare was known as Ultimate. The whole "build the spaceship, then collect all the fuel" thing is pretty obvious, and just like in Solar Jetman, you also collect radioactives and gems for points.
If this game looks familiar to you, congratulations. You must have played Donkey Kong 64. The game made a surprise appearance along with the original arcade version of Donkey Kong, and if you got 5000 points on this, you got an edited-in Rareware coin.
