Questionaire for a paper Im writing

[Valkren]

Interesting, I'm not sure how microwaves did something like that did the car work again if moved away from the line of radiation?
Back on topic, this is just my initial thoughts but perhaps if said circuitry was in direct line with the energetic particles or are of the easiest route to the surface then it could be something like what happens to satellites when a high energy particle comes into contact with it - it penetrates the surface and deposits a large amount of charge which can proceed to overload the circuit or cause: an electrical upset in a switch, a false command, or changing/deleting the memory in the satellite
