Preface
The launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957 started the space era and initiated the development of electronics designed specifically for use in space. Space applications present significant challenges, requiring new approaches, and even new technologies. Sputnik 1 had a simple, robust, vacuum tube-based design. Sputnik 2, also launched in 1957, carried the first living creature into space. In this case the mission requirements were ambitious, demanding sophisticated technical solutions. Explorer 1, which verified the existence of the Van Allen radiation belts, was launched in early 1958; its limited payload capacity required significant innovation, including the first insertion of solid-state transistors into a space vehicle to reduce size, weight, and power consumption. During the 1950s, the study of radiation effects on electronic components was in its infancy. Originally, military-grade electronics were used for space missions, but those did not neces
