The on-orbit repair sequence of the Solar Maximum Mission in April 1984 is described, and important lessons learned concerning orbital debris are summarized. Scientific results pertaining to a solar flare which occurred just before the repair are reviewed. The implications of the repair experience for serviceability in the design of future spacecraft and instruments are illustrated by the case of the Hubble Space Telescope and its second generation spectrograph.
