8 Long Life Cycles

A risk of designing in COTS products is that some COTS products have a short life cycle and become obsolete and hard to get for future spacecraft builds.

Texas Instruments has a history of supporting the mil/aero industry with products that have a long life cycle. TI continues to supply military and space grade products that were first released over 50 years ago.
