Wow. That's surprisingly un-NASA. I wonder if they have qualified the MTBF? For this kind of solution to work, it'd have to be at least a couple hours.
Because at the end of the day, "Radiation hardening" just means, "Less likely to experience one of these errors but oh hey a solar flare is inc..." Satellites just sort of float until their orbit decays, they are de-orbited, or they are lost.
You wouldn't do this for a spy satellite you need to send you images of the sky in realtime for end-of-the-world missile guidance, but for something that's doing science missions it's probably way more important to make something light and cheap that a russian mission can drop out the back of its launch.
