TL;DR

Japan plans to launch the world's first wooden satellite, LignoSat, in September. Developed by Kyoto University and Sumitomo Forestry, the satellite will be deployed from the ISS to study wood's durability in space. If successful, it could reduce the environmental impact of satellite reentries and pave the way for wooden structures in space habitats.
