True - just to be over-precise; as I read it the launch (release) per se isn't 10000g, nor the acceleration (so to speak) to velocity inside the device, but the centrifugal force inside the device gets to 10000g. There are guided artillery shells whose electronics survives much greater force (although it's a tough, expensive way to go.) For an integrated circuit or solar panel designed for it, 10000g may not be that much, however. Not much compared to an artillery launch, at least. We've been launching electronic devices by artillery since WWII - those with proximity fuses - without transistors!
