"NASA's Groundbreaking Wooden Satellite Set for Launch"

Researchers at Kyoto University are preparing to launch a wooden satellite, called LignoSat, into space next summer in collaboration with JAXA and NASA. The satellite, made of magnolia wood, aims to address the issue of space debris and offers potential cost savings for space companies. Wood is a suitable material for space as it does not burn or rot in the absence of oxygen and living organisms. The project also explores the use of wood for spacecraft interiors to protect astronauts from radiation. The satellite will be monitored for at least six months to assess its response to extreme temperature changes.

"X": The World's First Electric Tanker to Transport Clean Energy Across Oceans

PowerX, a battery startup company, has designed and developed the world's first electric battery tanker, "X," to transport clean energy by sea. The 140-meter-long electric-powered battery tanker can hold a total of 241 MWh of renewable energy with 96 marine-grade LFP batteries. The electric tanker will help connect grids, offshore wind farms, and islands with renewable energy where underground cables aren't ideal due to seismic activity, deep water, etc. PowerX aims to complete its first ship by 2025, with field testing planned to begin the following year.
