EXCLUSIVE: NASA and Japan Collaborate for Historic Launch of World’s First Wooden Satellite
NASA and JAXA are spearheading a revolutionary step in space exploration with the upcoming launch of LignoSat, the inaugural wooden satellite, slated for summer 2024. Crafted from magnolia wood, this eco-friendly spacecraft aims to combat space pollution by introducing biodegradable materials into orbit, potentially replacing conventional metal satellites. LignoSat's innovative design holds the promise of significantly reducing the environmental impact on Earth by minimizing the presence of long-lasting alumina particles in the atmosphere.
