On Nov. 5, 2024, LignoSat, the world's first wooden satellite, 1 went (go) into space from Florida, USA, reported The Guardian(《卫报》).
Kyoto University and the company Sumitomo Forestry developed it in Japan. Shaped like a little cube, the satellite is only about the size of your hand. It will fly around earth at a 2 height (high) of about 400 kilometres.
The goal is to see if wood can be 3 used (use) for future space missions(任务). LignoSat is made from a special kind of tree. The satellite 4 will spend (spend) six months in space. The electronic sensors on it will record its 5 performance (perform) for scientists to check if it can deal with the hard environment in space. There, it can be as 6 cold (cold) as -100℃ and as hot as 100℃.
Wood is a good 7 choice (choose) for space missions because there is no water or air there to make it rot(腐烂) or catch fire.
8 Wooden (wood) satellites can help protect the environment because people can grow more wood. This makes it renewable.
What's more, satellites made of wood don't add to air pollution. When satellites stop 9 working (work), they are usually sent back to earth to burn up in the air. In this process, metal satellites can leave harmful particles(颗粒) behind. But wooden ones burn up 10 cleanly (clean) without causing pollution.
