Wisseed Sat is a nanosatellite owned by Wisseed-the terra and built by Task and MASUYAMA-MFG. A satellite for education purposes, Wisseed Sat carries the milk teeth of around a dozen children, following the Japanese tradition of throwing one's milk tooth up towards the roof after they have come off to wish for the growth of the new tooth.[1] Wisseed Sat is planned to be launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and will be carried to the International Space Station (ISS) on board the Cygnus NG-21 spacecraft.[2] Wisseed Sat will be deployed from the ISS on a later date.[1]
