The Antiproton Flux in Space experiment (AFIS) is a novel particle detector comprised of silicon photomultipliers and scintillating plastic fibers. Its purpose is to measure the trapped antiproton flux in low Earth orbit. To test the detector and the data acquisition system, a prototype detector will be flown aboard a high altitude research ballon as part of the REXUS/BEXUS program by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). This talk will present the on-board data handling system and the ground support equipment of AFIS-P. It will also highlight the data handling algorithms developed and used for the mission.

This project is supported by DLR and the Cluster of Excellence ``Origin and Structure of the Universe''.
