Modern satellite based experiments are often very complex real-time systems,\ncomposed by flight and ground segments, that have challenging resource related\nconstraints, in terms of size, weight, power, requirements for real-time\nresponse, fault tolerance, and specialized input/output hardware-software, and\nthey must be certified to high levels of assurance. Hardware-software data\nprocessing systems have to be responsive to system degradation and to changes\nin the data acquisition modes, and actions have to be taken to change the\norganization of the mission operations. A big research & develop effort in a\nteam composed by scientists and technologists can lead to produce software\nsystems able to optimize the hardware to reach very high levels of performance\nor to pull degraded hardware to maintain satisfactory features. We'll show\nreal-life examples describing a system, processing the data of a X-Ray detector\non satellite-based mission in spinning mode.\n
