SNAPPY is a small satellite launched to study ghost particles or neutrinos. It carries a tiny prototype detector with specialized crystals inside a CubeSat, aiming to test the technology's reliability in space and distinguish neutrinos from mimicking signatures. The project involves multiple universities and NASA centers and was launched on May 3, 2026, atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket into low Earth
