When I was a teenager (45 - 50 years ago), there was a mission launched where the main parabolic high gain antenna did not open fully. What was this mission and how did they solve the antenna problem?

Thanks. Been bugging me for quite some time now that I couldn't remember the mission. Seems my sense of time is way off though. I remembered this as something that happened in my late teens, maybe early 20's. That would have been late 60's early 70's. But Galileo was launched in 1989......
QUOTE [Mods, obviously this thread is misplaced.]  I almost posted in "Chit Chat", but the description of Chit Chat is "Outside the realms of Spaceflight all together." I didn't think my question was Outside the realms of Spaceflight all together. The description of "Past and Future" is "...missions from the past and the future". I thought that best fit my question.
