Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories are building an ultrasoft x-ray space telescope experiment, designed to be flown on a ''cheap-sat.'' Reliability estimates for the combined total dose and single event environments are given for the on-board memories as large as 1 gigabit. 4 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
