Renesas says its radiation-hardened ICs are headed to NASA’s Artemis II crewed lunar mission, where they must survive elevated radiation and extreme temperatures. Lunar crewed systems are a direct test case for the Ark’s survival logic: if these parts hold up on Artemis II, they become stronger candidates for long-duration lunar infrastructure.
