The paper reviews scientific reports describing the influence of selected physical factors in near space on the operation of electronic systems depending on the distance from the Earth’s surface. This influence is usually destructive. Therefore, devices operating in space require the use of electronic components and devices in which special materials have been used and design solutions have been applied that make them resistant to difficult and variable operating conditions. On the one hand, we are talking about rapidly changing pressure, humidity, temperature and gravitational field during ascent and about long-term stay in space, where conditions occur that are not encountered in any environment on Earth. These conditions are not only deadly dangerous to people but can also damage or even completely destroy electronic equipment of measuring probes, spaceships, and vehicles. The paper describes not only the destructive factors to which electronic systems transferred to extraterrestrial space are exposed but also methods of protecting them against the aforementioned factors, including methods of increasing resilience (hardening) and redundant methods protecting electronic systems from the effects of radiation and pressure changes.
