The precision of the calculator was greater than most mainframe computers of its time.

HP-35 calculators were carried on the Skylab 3 and Skylab 4 flights, between July 1973 and February 1974. The HP-35 was developed in two years, at a cost of approximately one million dollars with twenty engineers.
