The timber satellite has been built by researchers at Kyoto University and the logging company Sumitomo Forestry in order to test the idea of using biodegradable materials such as wood to see if they can act as environmentally friendly alternatives to the metals from which all satellites are currently constructed.
Ngl that’s a really interesting idea.
Also, there’s a typo in the article. They call it both “LignaSat” and “LignoSat,” but I’m reasonably confident the actual name is “LigmaSat.”
What’s a ligma?
Ligma Satellite!
Wait
Ligma deez nutz!
Nothing, what’s a ligma with you?

Lignin is a major protein in wood, so LignoSat or LignaSat would make sense. LigmaSat loses that relationship with wood. I think LignoSat is probably correct.
