What it takes for electronics to survive in space
Henrik also highlights the extreme conditions electronics must withstand in space:
- Radiation exposure requiring rad-hard or rad-tolerant design
- Thermal cycling across wide temperature ranges
- Vacuum and outgassing considerations
- Long mission lifetimes demanding exceptional reliability
- Mechanical stresses during launch
- Compliance with space-sector standards and qualification processes
These demands shape the design and selection of rugged electronics, Hi-Rel components and radiation-hardened components, all central to Expando’s mission of enabling reliable space exploration technologies.
