Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Japan The correct answer is Japan. In news Japan’s Sumitomo Forestry company and Kyoto University have decided to collaborate to develop the world’s first wooden satellite by 2023. The team is also working towards developing wooden materials extremely resistant to temperature changes and sunlight. According to the European Space Agency (ESA) statistical model, there are more than 130 million pieces of anthropogenic space debris—waste residue due to human activities—smaller than a millimetre around our planet. Most of the “space junk” can reach a speed of 18,000 miles per hour, almost seven times faster than a bullet. According to a Professor at Kyoto University and a Japanese Astronaut, Takao Doi, the satellites create tiny alumina particles after coming into contact with Earth's atmosphere. These alumina particles will float in the upper atmosphere for many years and eventually will affect the Earth’s environment. The wooden satellites will help in the cutting of space junk as it will burn up without releasing any form of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
