      how many of satellites are used for such things?
      what is average assembly and design time for one?

    This video reminded me of my first internship where I got to built a cubesat and really provides a basic overview about the main things about satellites. However, I would like to add one thing at 12:12 . When reaction wheels reach their saturation, it does not mean they cannot be used anymore. If they are played in a coil, their rotational energy can be converted into electrical energy which will slow the reaction wheels down, while also providing power to the satellite.

  • @sethwhite4155

    Nice video! I used to work in rad-hard electronics and its crazy how important it is to rad-hard your components, sub-system, and once you have that put together test the whole computer system. Looking at you starlink 👀. In my basic understanding, satellite design is not to design to prevent complete failure from radiation, its to design around it. The electronics degrade over time and normally designers will put multiple circuits in and will rotate them out after a defined amount of time. Semiconductors degrade much faster when they are energised vs when turned off in rad environments.

      Did you know that all of SpaceX's original electronics came from Digikey?
      That is UNTIL they started flying payloads for NASA.
      Then they were required to use rad-hard parts.

      @@stuartgray5877 Digikey sells rad-hard components too. Also, the ISS exterior already has significant radiation shielding. If it can protect humans, it can probably protect your electronics too.
      I'm guessing any critical devices will be hardened, but someone's iPod failing is far from mission-critical. It's also a whole lot cheaper to replace a non-critical (or backed-up) iPod or laptop than it is to have a team of engineers design a rad-hard version.

      SpaceX was using non-rad hard parts at first. They even asked me what I thought of that when they interviewed me for a job on Dragon Avionics.
      I said the the same thing I said above: NASA won't let you you Keep doing that for manned missions.
      I was correct.
      They offered me the job but I turned it down. I'm too expensive for them
      I'll be kicking myself once they go public as the signing bonus was a LOT of shares.
