An experimental satellite made of wood has been deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) to test how the renewable, sustainable material withstands the harsh orbital environment.

Only one of them is, at least so far, made of wood: the LignoSat. That's the name chosen by the satellite's maker, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for a small CubeSat that was ...

LignoSat was deployed around 400 km above the earth's surface. The satellite will investigate the use of wood in space. It was deployed by Kyoto University and homebuilder Sumitomo Forestry.

Among them was LignoSat, a wooden satellite from JAXA (Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency) that investigates the use of wood in space. Findings could offer a more sustainable alternative to ...
