The magnolia wood LignoSat is an attempt to make space junk biodegradable. NASA and Japan's space agency (JAXA) could launch it as soon as 2024.

    Probably dowels, maybe some glue. Doubt they would use threaded fasteners for a demonstration like this.

      Darn. Could have been big ammunition in the Phillips vs straighthead war.

            Torx.

            The only one actually engineered for its application.

              Proprietary sacrilege. I ain’t paying extra for a shape. Not to mention, which Torx? There are literally half a dozen varieties.
