Japan's Sumitomo Forestry Company and Kyoto University aims to launch the world's first wood-based space satellite by 2023 to combat the problem of space junk.

It is also reported that the team is also working towards developing wooden materials extremely resistant to temperature changes and sunlight.

The debris can travel at a speed of more than 22,300 mph and can impact other satellites.
