Wooden Satellite

A satellite, which you'd expect to be made only of cutting-edge metal alloys, has been constructed from 'wood' and launched into space. The world's first wooden satellite, 'LignoSat,' is made from magnolia wood. In space, the absence of oxygen and moisture prevents the wood from rotting or burning. Unlike metal, it doesn't block electromagnetic waves, allowing antennas to be placed inside the satellite. Furthermore, when it re-enters Earth's atmosphere after its lifespan, it will burn up completely and disappear without a trace, unlike aluminum satellites that leave behind harmful metal particles. 'Wood' is gaining new attention as a futuristic space material that can simultaneously address the worsening problems of space debris and air pollution.
