Although it was actually stated that the expansion pack was called Pioneering the Novasphere, either name can be correct. Or rather, the author probably used the word Novasphere so that he didn't use the essay's title itself (I don't know if usage rights is involved though).

Also, as seen in the OP of the anime adaptation, it might be hinted that Pioneering the Novasphere refers to the adventurers being the first of the people from Earth to "pioneer and adventure" on a similar world, thus showing two planets which appear to be Earth but one is alit with flowing light or energy (Possibly the Novasphere since the Earth can also be referred to as Earthsphere).
