Which missions have or will use this
Recent spacecraft used RAD750. Which missions have or will use this one ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:18, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Contradiction
Either the article is not being clear enough, but it appears to contradict itself by saying the RAD5500 is made (I'm assuming this is layperson-speak for fabricated) by BAE Systems in the lead section, but then it goes on to say that it's fabricated by IBM in the following section. 99Electrons (talk) 06:00, 9 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I changed "manufactured by BAE" to "created by BAE" in an attempt to address this issue. Perhaps a rephrasing along the lines of "a product of BAE" would be better.
 * In any case, BAE is the one spearheading it; at the end of the day, BAE is the one that sells the product. Companies contract out production all the time. (As another example, it's kind of like how Apple creates the iPhone and designs the A-series chips, but those core chip designs are licensed from Arm, those chips are fabricated by TSMC, and those chips are put into iPhones assembled by Foxconn. But, at the end of the day, it is Apple's creation and product, and Apple is the one that sells the final product.)
