Radiation hardening and single event upset detection and recovery from cosmic rays are some reasons that satellites are so darn expensive.

That’s why a lot of s-ace craft are radiation hardened with solid gold circuitry. Want to earn some money? Figure out how to salvage derelict spacecraft cheaply...get rich.

Did radiation lot acceptance tests for many a year. Mostly total dose.
