I'm having trouble moving the antenna on the Compton GRO model that you gave me, as parts of the base of the antenna are indirectly connected to other parts of the spacecraft that I don't want to move, and I don't know how to avoid this...

This TESS model needs a gold or silver shirt...

I cropped the 3D mesh of Mariner 10.
I converted it to .cmod
The satellite still seemed off-center in its planetary grid. So I used a MeshCenter statement.

toutatis, not to be a complainer, but there are a couple problems I've found with your fix of the Compton GRO model.
That is great, DaveBowman2001...I've pointed Kepler into its original Field of View (between the constellations Cygnus and Lyra) as it did in its first mission before its gyroscopes failed operating starting in 2013. To keep the craft permanently staring to this region, its arrays pointing to the Sun, and also having "constant communication" with Earth, I have removed its rotation rate in the .SSC file and had its Two-Vector BodyFrame pointed at one of the stars in the region (in this case, I've chosen the sun-like star Kepler-22

This photo clearly shows that the upper part of the TPP with gold foil, the lower part with silver foil:
As you can see, it's nearly all silver.
