Oh, I meant on the rover. From googling, it seems the helicopter's design lifetime is too short for radiation damage to matter, and the cameras actually on the rover are rad-hardened to some degree.
- ixfo 6y agoGenerally cameras are reasonably rad-hard because the pixel size dictates a lot of the wiring size (and puts a lower bound on the process size). 3.5um pixels don't play well with 5nm features. Bigger features are generally more resistant to radiation fun.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoRad hard cameras intended for long term operation use CCDs with the drivers and ADCs off chip, implemented in a hardened process.
