Kosmos 35 (Template:Lang-ru meaning Cosmos 35) or Zenit-2 No.21 was a Soviet optical film-return reconnaissance satellite launched in 1964. A Zenit-2 spacecraft, Kosmos 35 was the twentieth of eighty-one such satellites to be launched[4][5] and had a mass of 4,730.0 kilograms (10,427.9 lb).[1]
Kosmos 35 was launched by a Vostok-2 rocket, serial number R15001-03,[6] flying from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The launch took place at 11:31 UTC on 15 July 1964,[2] and following its successful arrival in orbit the spacecraft received its Kosmos designation; along with the International Designator 1964-039A and the Satellite Catalog Number 833.[1]
Kosmos 35 was operated in a low Earth orbit; at an epoch of 18 July 1964 it had a perigee of 212 kilometres (132 mi), an apogee of 263 kilometres (163 mi) inclination of 51.2 degrees and an orbital period of 89.25 minutes. On 23 July 1964, after eight days in orbit, the satellite was deorbited with its return capsule descending by parachute for recovery.[3][5]
