Engineers are working to fix a slight bend in one of the 'booms' that support the ACS3 solar sail system.
Engineers have kept the craft's attitude control system - which controls the orientation of a spacecraft - turned off.
ACS3 launched from New Zealand aboard Rocket Lab's Electron rocket on April 23 .
The craft is a test of new spaceflight technology that uses the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, similar to the way a sailboat is powered by wind.
