In general, various compression algorithms are implemented quite easily in FPGA's. Reed Solomon and other coding schemes are also used for transmission.

Currently I do not believe Altera offers Space Hardened FPGA's.

I think Xilinx offers a few families which are being field tested in space right now.

I think they were involved with the Mars Rover wheel drive sections and a test in an Austrailian sat. Google may help there.

Why do you ask?
