N2 - The Advanced Particle-astrophysics Telescope (APT), which is being designed for a Sun-Earth Lagrange L2 orbit, and its balloon-borne Antarctic Demonstrator (ADAPT) represent substantial challenges in computational sensing. Since communications with earth-bound computing resources are intermittent and are constrained to low data rates, the bulk of the computational science must be accomplished aboard the instrument. We describe the computational requirements for APT and our current plan for achieving those requirements through a combination of custom hardware, FPGAs, and embedded processor cores.
