- Are there any companies out there whose off-the-shelf products are
- space-qualified ? I ask this since a colleague at IKI told me that
- they had flown many standard PC hard discs as onboard storage devices
- and had great success. I just wondered what other components might be
- out there which are standard and space-qualified. I don't imagine
- for one minute that these components will be chosen for major space
- missions since they are just not expensive enough. Maybe the UOSAT
- folks will be willing to give them go...
