Can't repair Gigantor XL Solar Array (mission).

[kiel814]

I have the mission about repairing a Solar Array on a satellite in orbit of Kerbin. So I flew out there with Bill, who is an engineer and he has 4 repair kits in his inventory. But I don't see how should I repair the solar panel.

Do I need to have unlocked the Gigantor XL Solar Array?

Does the engineer need a certain XP level to be able to do repairs?

No of these are mentioned in the mission parameters so I do not expect any of these to be the issue.

BTW, I have no mods.

There was an old question about this on the forum, but I read it all and did not find help.

Sorry for the dumb question but... is this the correct solar panel?

You're floating in front of a fully extended panel. Perhaps the one you need to repair is not this one, but rather a different solar panel, which is not currently extended (because it is broken)? Isn't there a mount visible on the opposite side of the truss in this picture? I'm not sure if it is another panel, but it well could be.

Oh my... I feel so dumb. I floated around the ship for like 20 minutes looking for a place to grab on to it and didn't even think of this.

Found it and fixed it. Now my kerbals can go back to watching TV thanks to you
