NASA will launch a CubeSat named SNAPPY (Solar Neutrino Astro-Particle PhYsic) into low Earth orbit, designed to measure neutrino signals from the sun. The launch is scheduled for Sunday from Vandenberg Space Force Base, with a watch party at Jabara Hall, Wichita State University.
The project, led by professor Nickolas Solomey, received $2 million in 2021 to develop this technology, which is crucial for understanding the random noise that interferes with neutrino detection. The initiative involves collaboration with multiple institutions, including NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Michigan. This advancement may enhance future neutrino detection missions in space.
