KH-4A Mission 1035 reverted to use of the short tank TAT Agena D. The twin-bucket CORONA carried out its two five-day photography missions successfully. It introduced a modified J-1 system with a new geometry for the panomamic cameras, called Pan Geometry capability (rail holes and lamps to provide a reseau for cartographic operations). Targets in the south-eastern USSR, China, the Middle East, and the Balkans were observed, as well as some targets in Australia during Mission 1035-1 and South America during Mission 1035-2.

The Ariel 5 (UK 5) spacecraft was Britain's first X-ray astronomy observatory. The 135 kg spacecraft was managed by the Science Research Council's Appleton Lab, although the main science experiment, the SSI all-sky survey, was run by Leicester University. Leicester, already experienced with sounding rocket flights, remained the leading British X-ray astronomy hardware group into the 1990s. Control was at UK OCC/Slough, with commanding via STDN.
Mass was 135 kg; size was 0.97m long 0.86m dia. MOR quotes mass as 130 kg. Stage 4 mass was 301 kg full, 26 kg empty.
