EXPLORER-35

AIMP-2 (AIMP-E or IMP-E or Explorer 35, NSSDC ID: 76-070A) was a spin- stabilized 230 kg spacecraft instrumented for interplanetary studies at lunar distances. It was successfully 'anchored' to the earth's moon, and stayed that way during its operational life. The AIMP-2 sensors were designed to study the interplanetary plasmas, the magnetic fields, fluxes of energetic particles, and solar X-rays. The spacecraft was launched into an elliptical lunar orbit. The spin axis direction was nearly perpendicular to the ecliptic plane, and the AIMP-2 spin rate was 25.6 rpm, giving a spin period of 2.34 sec. The overall AIMP-2 mission objectives were achieved. After successful operation and data gathering for 6 years, the spacecraft was turned off on June 24, 1973.
