Sumitomo Forestry, a subsidiary of the Sumitomo Group, was formed 400 years ago. Authorities say they have already started investigating the growth of trees and the use of wood materials in space. Together with Kyoto University, they will study different types of wood samples in different harsh environments around the world. They also say they are trying to make wood materials that are highly effective in counteracting changes in temperature and resisting sunlight.

As the days go by, the number of artificial satellites launched into space is increasing, the researchers say. According to the World Economic Forum, there are currently around 6,000 artificial satellites orbiting the Earth. Of these, 80 percent have expired. In other words, these have now become space junk. Apart from this, various parts, including the parts of the spacecraft launched from the earth, are also increasing the garbage in space. According to the research firm Euroconsult, an average of 990 artificial satellites will be launched each year in the current decade. In other words, by 2028, around 15,000 artificial satellites will orbit the Earth.
