There's lots of stuff "up there" that isn't strictly rated for the environment, but gets used anyway (No, I cannot say what, but more than one company use Pi stuff on satellites). This is a University project, so not going to have the same hardening requirements as more mission critical stuff.
I would have thought the RP2040 would be fine. I'd go with triple redundancy (as per SpaceX) and voting rather than hardened electronics. The chips are cheap enough.
