The density of the cluttered debris and Junks in space peaks around 620 miles up in the middle of the geo static low level orbit of our planetary system. This gave rise to the blockade and hindrance around the orbital planes for different satellites and other space ventures.
Researchers and Scientists are still looking into the possibility of creating the shuttles and the equipment’s that has their purpose in space and to give us further insight on the mission and vision of exploring space without diluting the path.
Many countries and their space organizations are aiming to discover or replace the materials that is used nowadays to formulate a satellite by conducting various experiments and collecting theories and ideas across the sciences present throughout the globe.
Japan is leading the race of this discussion by introducing a very peculiar and a convenient solution to move the field of space ventures into a sustainable approach. Japan to launch the first wood-based satellite by 2023 which is somewhat a miraculous phenomenon that the whole world is going to witness as if get a successful launch will not only terminates the hazards of space debris but also gave a boost to the theory of sustainability to be introduced in the field of astronomical instruments and space technology. Thereby every Sapien attention is gazed upon Japan to launch the first wood-based satellite by 2023.
Principal Aim and Motive of this Mission
The major goal behind the crew and research team of this particular miraculous project were to introduce the term sustainability and the prime introduction of the materials that an be used to emulsify the making and advancement of space technology avoiding the chaotic recursions of formulating unwanted debris which we cannot either destroy or reuse to get any favorable results.
They proclaimed that they are focusing on giving the inspiration to other nations to use materials that will not contribute further piles of space debris.
This mission is formulated by the combined efforts of Sumitomo Forestry company and Japan’s Kyoto University and therefore constituted the think tank behind the development team of this mission.

Why is Japan building wooden Satellites?
The Research team further exclaimed that they are naming this ambitious satellite as Lignosate and it will be the first of the several projects they have planned to instigate in near future.
The team comments on the benefits of using Wood as their prime material instead of other commonly used materials to set up the satellites, such as Aluminium and other metals.
In support of their theory the researchers further commented that wood does not block electromagnetic waves and due to this reason wooden structures could be used to create house Antenna equipment and other controlling devices..
Infrastructure deduce from Wood would also be much simpler to design and weigh less than current amount of satellite equipment.
These satellites would have superior benefits with respect to the environment because they would burned upon when re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere thereby would not release polluting particles into the air and oceans.

Lignosate: A Solution or a myth or just a Theory?
As we all have witnessed the looming launch of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites and the quantity that it depicted gave rise to the heated arguments of the junks that is been cluttered in the space.
Numerous amount of satellites are orbiting our planet which is either discarded or already served their purposes and freely orbiting around the Earth.
Many agencies have already commented on this growing issue to launch new satellites we have clean up the old satellites and the space junk of equipment’s that are still there in the space.
This concern is the driving force behind the speculation of this project and giving the world a alternative which would ultimately limit the pollution over the upper atmosphere of earth. Therefore Japan to launch the first wood-based satellite by 2023.
The think tank admitted that the mission presents some complex technological and structural problems which adversely includes hunt for finding a wood material that can compose its shape and size in radiant temperature shifts and capable enough to survive intense sunlight over a longer duration of time.
This Japanese project involves studying and conducting experiments on different type of wood-based materials and their protective coatings that aids the infrastructure to hold up in the extremity and adverse conditions of space.
The Scientists in the development team currently studying the construction of wooden structures using cedar and birch wood. The core team also looking forward to plan to study how other wood products would function and sustain themselves in space in order to classify that whether trees could help humans in extreme environments such as space stations.
The company backing this project is quite famous and frequent in constructing infrastructure named as Sumitomo Forestry and was considered as Ace in developing buildings mainly of wood.
In 2018, the company declared its biggest project of a 350-meter wooden skyscraper to be built in and the goal is to complete the building by 2041.
