Microchip, in cooperation with NASA, has launched SuitSat-1, based on the PIC18 microcontroller.
Actually, it's a pretty cool embedded systems project...

Since we're touting our space borne accomplishments, JK microsystems' uflashTCP has been flying on the International Space Station for 2-3 years controlling a sample refrigerator. A gas monitor for the ISS is currently under development using our Logicflex SBC.

Any electronics in space have to withstand ionizing radiation without failing. To fly is easy, to work is another :), radiation toughness data would be useful.

NASA did do some radiation tests on our SBC and it passed with a wide margin. I don't know the exact nature of the tests since our end user did them and not us.
