In 2022, in Japan, they will begin to prepare for launching in the world’s first satellite in the world, writes Japanese news agency Kyodo.
Before running a wooden satellite, engineers will need to identify the properties and strength of the material in the open space. So, in February, the Japanese astronaut will attract the samples of the international space station outside the research module of the International Space Station. These will be magnolia, mountain sakura, Yamadzakura and stone birch – they will spend nine months in space, and later scientists will analyze the data and decide, which wood will be satellite. Researchers declared that they would make it in the form of a cube with a facet of ten centimeters inside which electronic equipment would be placed. Run is planned in 2023.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian company “Geoskan” will offer everyone for free to send their name on satellites into space. The names applied to special carriers were planned to deliver to the Cubesat type spacecraft in the cosmic orbit.
