Curious how a software update can be rolled back to mitigate a "solar radiation risk" (which would typically imply a hardware radiation susceptibility issue). Perhaps the software update comes in the form of new EEPROMs, something like that?

Perhaps introducing redundancy and error correction checks like in ECC memory? If the radiation only flips some bits, this could work.
