Being Bell Labs they included some long-term radiation tests of 
semiconductors on the outer shell, being monitored over the telemetry 
signals.

Need to dig up the story about a command misshap which required them to 
rebuild the command transmitter to send an illegal command that they new 
would set the state right and enable things back again...

Lots of gory details.
