by The world's first wooden satellite is on the way, in the shape of the Finnish WISA Woodsat.
ESA materials experts are contributing a suite of experimental sensors to the mission as well as helping with pre-flight testing.
WISA Woodsat is a 10x10x10 cm "CubeSat' – a type of nanosatellite built up from standardized boxes—but with surface panels made from plywood.
Woodsat's only non-wooden external parts are corner aluminum rails used for its deployment into space plus a metal selfie stick.
