LignoSat was launched on a SpaceX rocket from NASA 's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 5 .

The world's first wooden satellite is set to re-enter the atmosphere without leaving space debris.

The mission aims to prove that a wooden satellite body is as viable as those made of metal or plastic.

The palm-sized satellite measures just 10 centimeters on each side and was built using a traditional Japanese crafts technique without screws or glue.

By utilizing renewable materials and innovative techniques, LignoSat may well mark the beginning of a new chapter in space technology.

The mission not only aims to demonstrate the viability of wooden satellites but also to inspire future endeavors that prioritize ecological responsibility.

As humanity looks to the Moon, Mars , and beyond, the mission may well be the beginning to a new era of space technology, says Alchemiq .
