It's not the world's first. The WISA Woodsat launched in 2022, and it was an off the shelf cubesat kit that had already had several dozen launched on rideshares, this was just the first time a major space program launched one.

Ranger 3 was partially made of wood and that was in 1962.

Your post prompted me to Google WISA Woodsat and Ranger 3. Interesting. The WISA Woodsat Scandinavian origins will no doubt encourage the tongue in cheek commenters. I am having trouble myself to avoid such.
