LignoSat, the world’s first wooden satellite, launched last month, showcasing the potential of wood in space technology. 

 

Crafted from honoki magnolia and weighing just 900 grams, its mission is to test how wood responds to space conditions like extreme temperature changes and radiation.

 

This six-month project aims to revolutionize space exploration by exploring eco-friendly materials. 

 

Wooden satellites could significantly reduce space debris and environmental impact, paving the way for more sustainable future missions.
