Technology, by David Hughes.
Some requirements for ICs used in Civilian Space Projects at the time of this writing are as
follows:
- Civilian ICs used in space need radiation-hardened ICs to protect them from the constant bombardment of naturally
occurring radiation from the sun and beyond.
- Civilian ICs need to be able to withstand the intense vibration and g forces produced by the launch vehicle.
