I always had the impression 99% of all space-electronic problems come from the fact that you have to lift stuff from earth.

You get plenty of sunlight to power your stuff and since gravity isn't as bad as on earth you can build stuff big enough to be shielded from almost everything.

But well, it has to go up somehow :D

You could install hundreds of tons of radiation shielding if you had easy lifting tech, but I still would point at the radiation as the root problem, not the difficulty of getting things into space.

Launch is only a vibration and acceleration problem which are mechanical issues. Payload electronics are mostly powered off until on orbit.

Extreme temperature changes? Solar flares?
