Electronics have to be designed for use in outer space. That includes hardening from radiation. Adding redundancy because there will be glitches and failures due to bit flips. Using components that can operate in a vacuum. There’s thermal considerations, both extreme heat and cold. You also need filters in the optics to protect the image sensor.

You can totally put a GoPro in space. It’s just not going to last very long before it fails.

Bit flips are a fun thing to learn about. I encourage anyone that doesn’t know what it is to just look it up on you tube or whatever.

But flips occur when a posse of electrons loses an intimidation check to the sun.

I find this hilarious.

Is that the same as skin cancer?
