The present invention relates to a modular architecture for a resilient extensible SmallSat (MARES) command and data handling (C&DH) device used in a spacecraft, the modular architecture which conforms to a 1U CubeSat board area form factor, including: a C&DH processor card disposed on a backplane of the form factor; a C&DH processor card disposed on a backplane of the form factor; a fault tolerant field programmable gate array (FPGA) disposed on the C&DH processor card, the FPGA including an embedded fault tolerant memory controller, and a soft-core processor which runs core flight software on a real-time executive for a multiprocessor operating system; and a C&DH auxiliary card disposed on the backplane and used in conjunction with the C&DH processor card, to provide processing capability for the spacecraft, the auxiliary card which contains peripheral interface drivers and read electronics for monitoring a health and safety of the spacecraft.
