An overview of the technical solutions for the use of modern technologies of electronic Space Device Engineering applied to development of board control and data handling for ultra-small satellites of the CubeSat is presented. As promising technologies, a system on a chip and network technology SpaceWire is considered. The wide world application and benefits of using these technologies are noticed. Specific technical solutions of using these technologies are shown. The possibility and expediency of their application for the design of on-board control and data handling for ultra-small spacecraft, given its critical features of size, weight, power consumption, are analyzed. The conclusion about the prospects of creating an onboard control and data handling for ultra-small spacecraft based on the integration in a single FPGA chip of open IP-core LEON 3 and routing switch SpaceWire, defining the network architecture of ultra-small spacecraft, is given.
