That is very interesting. Space semiconductors have to have special redundant geometries and memory has to have error checking because cosmic rays can damage logic cells and change the state of memory devices. It usually takes three times the power for a space device compared to one used on Earth.

I didn’t know about the much greater power requirements in space applications. Thanks.
