Scientists are trying to reshape the environment. Various studies are being conducted to find environmentally friendly alternatives to various things to protect the world from climate change. In continuation of this, Japan has surprised the world by creating a wooden satellite. The satellite will be launched experimentally on the 5th of this month. A group of researchers from Kyoto University, in collaboration with the house construction company Sumitomo Forestry, has created this satellite called Lignosat. Professor Koji Murata of the Department of Forestry at Kyoto University is quite optimistic about this new creation.
He said that the wood of high-quality Japanese magnolia trees has been used in the construction of this satellite. Which does not break easily. He thinks that this satellite made of wood will work quite well in space. Murata also said that the final decision on which spacecraft will launch the satellite is still pending. It could be sent this summer on the ISS supply spacecraft Orbital Sciences Cygnus. Or it could be sent some time later on the SpaceX Dragon cargo rocket. The satellite, which is smaller than a coffee mug, will remain in space for at least six months.
