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 ...

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 ...

The mission was carried out by Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). LignoSat was deployed around 400 km above the earth's surface. The satellite will investigate the use of wood in space.

JAXA previously tested different types of wood at the ISS, helping LignoSat's makers choose the most resilient variety. The space industry is currently facing a dilemma, as research suggests that ...

But the LignoSat passed stringent safety inspections of NASA and JAXA. The satellite will be sent to the International Space Station aboard a rocket of the private U.S. rocket manufacturer Space X ...

The LignoSat probe's biodegradable nature is seen as a potential solution to preserving the Earth's environment, as it is constructed from wood, which does not burn or rot in the vacuum of space ...

Built by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the timber-clad device was sent to International Space Station last November. Now, NASA says that the tiny satellite, dubbed LignoSat ...

This was made public by the US space agency NASA, and the LignoSat was launched from the International Space Station (ISS) back in December. Sensors on board the Japanese-built device will measure ...

The world's first wooden satellite LignoSat was among the five CubeSats deployed into the Earth's orbit last month, 400 km above the planet. The satellite arrived at the International Space ...
