The world’s first wooden satellite, LignoSat, has been deployed from the ISS. Made from hinoki wood, it’s designed to disintegrate upon re-entry, reducing space junk. This eco-friendly satellite will gather data for six months, showcasing sustainable materials in space exploration.
A tiny Japanese satellite named LignoSat, made entirely of magnolia wood, has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). This innovative spacecraft aims to revolutionize space exploration by offering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional aluminum satellites. LignoSat’s success could pave the way for a future where wooden spacecraft are the norm, minimizing the harmful effects of space junk and pollution.
