Intense solar radiation will be at a peak, since it is NOW the peak of the 11 year sunspot cycle.

Good related reading on this page .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hardening ... includes a range of mitigation effects.

( I would be interested to find out how they actually test these systems. What combinations of hardware hardening and software logic. ALso do they actually subject to system to radiation as part of the testing )

In early 1990s, when possibility of radiation caused upsets came to airliners, tests were conducted with various kinds of radiation including firing heavy ions from particle accelerators
