Sure but what does it cost for 32gb of space rated, radiation hardened memory?

Maybe even in triplicate for a consensus system!

I've got a quote in front of me right now for a ~1 TB data recorder for just shy of $4 million.

Also keep in mind this isn't even for the highest class parts, this is more in line for something like a NASA Explorers program level [0]. Something you would get for a JWST or an Artemis level of program would be even more $$$
