Many CPUs have been used in space craft, space stations and other such probes. Such CPUs must be highly reliable, and very durable. The temperatures in space, even with heaters, can vary widely. The radiation that a system is exposed too can be immense. So when designing one of these systems designers don t always use the latest and greatest microprocessor. They use a chip that has been tried and tested. That they KNOW will work.
A CPU for use in space must first be MIL-STD-883 (usually Class M or S, ground based is B). This means it has met the over 100 tests
donuts that would flip to do your memories. it was quite primitive. but radiation hardened. it worked. you have described this as an amazing machine with the million of parts that it has. why did you describe it that way? it s the it s the most capable flying machine that s ever been con sooefd, designed and built and op ratd. nothing else comes close. it talks off vertically like a robert. turns into a superb orbital platform for research work or construction. we could not have built the space station without it. and turns into an airplane for a conventional landing on orunway and gets refurbished to be reused. it is amazing. what s your favorite part of the shuttle? the favorite part of shuttle as a specialist i was doing a specialist for space walks, i did many space walks. i did i d have to say the
