This is the 2nd version of my Solar Max. Solar Max was a spacecraft that studied the Sun and maybe its activity. It was doing just fine but there came problems: After deployment, Mission Control tried to extend the main antenna but it was jammed. In September 1980, the coronagraph failed because of an electronics failure.In November 1980, the second of four fuses in SMM's attitude control system failed, causing it to rely on its magnetorquers in order to maintain attitude. In this mode, only three of the seven instruments on board were usable, as the others required the satellite to be accurately pointed at the Sun. It was successfully repaired in 1984 and it's Main Electronic Box was replaced with a new one. It's High-gain antenna would now extend and it would continue operation until it's orbit decayed in 1989. It would also observe comets after it was fixed.
