Paragraph 2
Makinen plans to launch Woodsat into space later this year. He said it was the
of a dream. He started a company to produce
functional wooden
of orbit-ready miniature satellites called CubeSats. These are used for space research, education and
purposes. Makinen explained: "I've always enjoyed making
planes that involve a lot of wooden
. Having worked in the space education
, this got me wondering why we don't fly any wooden
into space." He came up with the
for Woodsat in 2017 and "the project just snowballed". He said: "We found commercial backing, and secured a
on an Electron launcher from Rocket Lab in New Zealand."
