      abstract     = {Observations from aircraft and balloons with remote sensing
                      instruments are an important method to investigate processes
                      within the Earth environment. These applications require
                      powerful computing systems that must be developed or adapted
                      for the measurement task and requirements. In particular,
                      imaging spectrometers generate high data rates by almost
                      10,000 pixels at about 4,000 frames per second. Accordingly,
                      high performance is needed to provide operational control
                      and data processing with high data bandwidth and the
                      capability to store this data also during long duration
                      flights.A modular processing system architecture based on
                      modified industrial grade board components has been
                      developed to meet these high requirements for processing
                      power and storage capacity. The major advantages of this
                      approach are flexibility, (re)programmability, modularity
                      and module re-use in order to attain lower development time
                      and costs. However, it is a challenge to design this
                      processing system to be suitable for the harsh environments
                      of aircraft or balloon applications in terms of temperature
                      range, humidity and vibration. With an efficient approach
                      ruggedized characteristics are achieved using a conduction
                      cooled design in combination with components based on VPX
                      standard and customized backplane transition modules in
                      order to reduce operational risk with necessary measures of
                      mitigation techniques. This approach results in a processing
                      system that combines hardware and software redundancies to
                      assure system availability and reliability for long duration
                      flights. In this presentation the compact flight proven
                      system design is presented that has been used in recent
                      years for high spectral resolution limb-observations by the
                      GLORIA (Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the
                      Atmosphere) spectrometer aboard the HALO and Geophysica
                      high-altitude aircrafts. Various system configurations and
                      performance results will be shown, which have been achieved
                      in the current design and will be applied in future balloon
                      campaigns.</p>},
