The European Space Agency (ESA) has planned to put the world’s first wooden satellite, WISA Woodsat, in Earth’s orbit by the end of 2021. The satellite will be launched aboard Rocket Lab Electron rocket from the Mahia Peninsula launch complex in New Zealand. The satellite’s mission will be to test the applicability of wooden materials like plywood in spacecraft structures and expose it to extreme space conditions, such as heat, cold, vacuum and radiation, for an extended period of time.
