Solar Neutrino Astro-Particle PhYsics (SNAPPY) CubeSat
Sector: Aerospace & Defense • Location: Vandenberg, California, United States
Source: Mirage News
The SNAPPY CubeSat is a small spacecraft designed to test a prototype solar neutrino detector in low Earth polar orbit. It aims to study neutrinos, fundamental particles that pass through the universe at near-light speeds, to better understand the Sun and the universe. The project involves a detector encased in a shielding block and housed inside a CubeSat platform, launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon
