Explorer 35 was a spin-stabilized spacecraft instrumented for interplanetary studies at lunar distances of the interplanetary plasma magnetic field energetic particles and solar X rays. It was launched into an elliptical lunar orbit. The spin axis direction was nearly perpendicular to the ecliptic plane and the spin rate was 25.6 rpm. Mission objectives were achieved. After successful operation for 6 years the spacecraft was turned off on June 24 1973.
