- rtkwe 5y agoYeah they do a lot of individual things to bullet proof satellites because you can't repair them and they cost millions (generally, cheaper satellites are starting to be used more and more).
- marsokod 5y agoThey do, but for small scale projects like satellites we tend to push con-coat until we have a good confidence the unit is working. Removing conformal coating to replace a failed component or change a resistor can be quite tricky, especially for epoxy based coatings. So there is a long time without any coating (up to spacecraft assembly).
