A flight backup of the Apollo Particles and Fields Subsatellite. Apollo 15 and Apollo 16 both launched this type of satellite before leaving lunar orbit.

Note the silver deployable booms at both top center and bottom front of the satellite.

See my Apollo Particles and Fields Subsatellite page for additional information.
