Description:
It is pointed out that systems currently in use permit an uplink data rate from scientific balloons to satellites of only 100 bit/min. On-board microprocessors, which are able to condense data, can address this problem. An experiment is described that demonstrates the capabilities of inflight data processing by an on-board computer for electric field experiments. It was possible to reduce the data rate by two orders of magnitude with no diminution of data quality.
