Our goal is to put the world’s first wooden satellite on Earth’s orbit during the first half of 2022.
WISA WOODSAT is a nanosatellite based on the popular CubeSat standard. The satellite measures roughly 10 x 10 x 10 cm, which is equivalent of 1U CubeSat.
The satellite is designed and built in Finland and it will be launched to space during the first half of 2022 with a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from the Mahia Peninsula launch complex in New Zealand.
The mission of the satellite is to test the applicability of wooden materials, especially WISA-Birch plywood in spacecraft structures and expose it to extreme space conditions, such as heat, cold, vacuum and radiation, for an extended period of time.
