World’s first experimental wooden satellite set for launch

Japanese scientists are set to launch the first wooden satellite, LignoSat, on Nov. 5, in collaboration with American space agencies.

Developed by Kyoto University and Sumitomo Forestry, the small satellite, made from durable magnolia wood, will be tested from the ISS over six months to assess its resilience in space.

Researchers, including astronaut Takao Doi, hope this experiment could pave the way for sustainable materials in space, envisioning potential uses of wood for lunar habitats and Mars domes due to its insulating and renewable properties, the New York Post has reported.
