Saw "Geezers In Space" (aka "Space Cowboys") and looks like there are Sovtek 6922's mounted on one of the circuit boards on the orbiting Soviet tactical nuke satellite supposedly launched in 1983. I know about the EMP advantage, but does it make sense to launch something with vacuum tubes and expect no maintenance requirements in 17 years?
