Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of lightweight technology in space exploration. It highlights the direct correlation between the weight of computers and sensors and their functionality. Lighter equipment allows for more capabilities to be packed within a specific weight limit. This is particularly critical in space missions where every ounce of payload has a cost associated with it. By reducing the weight of components, space agencies can maximize the functionality and efficiency of spacecraft while minimizing costs.
