Marata and his team of satellite scientists, dubbed the LignoSat, is constructed out of magnolia Wood and set to be launched into space as part of JAXAs. That's J-A-X-A Cube program, a microsatellite initiative promoting upcoming space technologies. The goal is to monitor the tiny satellite over at least a six month period to see how it responds to the extreme changes in temperatures. Quote, there's not much reduction in strength from -238 degrees to 302 degrees Fahrenheit
