Bent solar panel
Posted by Mars on Saturday, July 22, 2017 9:35 PM

I have a Hubble telescope model. One of its solar panels is noticabley warped and its mount pole is bent. How would you fix it without breaking it? When I try it comes back to the original bent shape

you could try to heat the part in hot water, bend it to correct shape when hot and cool it in cold water to retain the proper shape while holding it in shape.
