Description
The scientific goals of the PLATO mission are to search for planetary transits across a large number of stars. In this presentation we describe its on-board data processing architecture, including the 26 cameras and 14 data-processing units, the on-board data acquisition, processing and storage and the lessons learnt so far in implementing this system. In the case of PLATO, only the utilization of on-board data processing makes it possible to achieve the ambitious science mission goals
