Paper planes launched from international space station

A paper plane will be launched from the International Space Station (ISS) to mark the new moment of space travel. With a round shape and made of siilocon-treated heat-resistant paper, this paper airplane has been tested with many requests to land on Earth without burning.

Over the weekend, a smaller paper airplane model was tested at supersonic speed 7 with temperatures between 200 and 300 degrees Celsius at Tokyo University (Japan). When released from ISS, the aircraft will orbit around 400 km at a supersonic speed of 20, which is 20 times the speed of sound and then slows down at supersonic speed 7 when falling into the floor. upper layer of earth atmosphere.

Scientists hope this project can offer new design ideas for new space-transporting ships or aircraft that explore the upper floors of the atmosphere.

Professor Suzuki, a paper airplane engineering researcher, said: 'We hope the ISS crew will write peace messages on this paper plane before launching them. We don't know which plane will land on Earth, but this is a good thing for anyone who finds it. "

He also plans to write a message on the plane in many other languages, asking people to discover the plane to send it back to the Japan Origami Aircraft Association.
