Run-ons

Can someone let me know if the following is a run-on sentence or acceptable?

1st version:

This probe had to be specially designed by NASA because it has to endure various temperatures of space although it has a 10 year main voyage the electrical components are only going to be used for 2 years.

2nd version:

This probe had to be specially designed by NASA because it has to endure various temperatures of space. Although it has a 10 year main voyage, the electrical components are only going to be used for 2 years.
