The Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite, which lost fine pointing attitude control early in its orbital life, was successfully repaired in orbit a little more than four years after its original launch. This successful repair removed the subject of satellite servic-ing from the realm of discussion to that of accomplished fact and, in the opinion of the authors, presages an era during which servicing, repair and up-grading of satellites utilizing the Orbiter and, later, the Space Station will be routine.
