About the Mars helicopter electronics
It turns out NASA's Mars helicopter was much more revolutionary than we knew >>Ingenuity packed more computing power than all other NASA deep space missions combined.

No rad proof stuff, just what we use everyday ...
Would LOVE to see schematics and software listings !
And a tear-down. Nobody on YT seems to have one to take apart though.

There was a lot on the net back then about that Mars helicopter
and the camera and chips used.
google is your friend:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingenuity_(helicopter)
quote from that wikipedia link:
"Ingenuity is equipped with two commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) cameras:
a high-resolution Return to Earth (RTE) camera and a lower resolution navigation (NAV) camera.
The RTE camera consists of the Sony IMX 214, a rolling shutter, 4208 × 3120-pixel resolution color sensor,
fitted with a Bayer color filter array and an O-film optics module.
The NAV camera consists of an Omnivision OV7251, a 640 × 480 black and white global shutter sensor,
mounted to a Sunny optics module[22].
