Near-space radiation hardness testing evaluates how electronics and components perform when exposed to high-altitude conditions that more closely resemble operational aerospace environments. These tests can help identify susceptibility to radiation effects, thermal stress, pressure changes, and vibration. The goal is to gather meaningful performance data before committing hardware to higher-cost orbital or mission-critical deployment.
