As you can see, there are several stages to the production of neutrinos, and this would be a very difficult set-up to put in orbit.
I assume the other way around it would be a feat to filter noise out? Surely, such alternative (space/air route) been considered before, still for the reasons stated is it quite attractive. This stuff needs confirmation or a super-paper.
