A couple of questions, to help clarify the situation
1 - What game version are you playing in (the latest is 1.13.0 at the moment)
There was a bug in 1.12.0 that caused some errors when using standing orders (See
here for the original bug report)
2 - Is the survey ship jump capable and is not in the Sol system
I have ran into the situation where i only stabilized one half of a jump point and the survey ship could not return to earth on its own and was giving "Orders not Possible" messages
Apart from that keep in mind that if you have maintenance turned off (by checking the "No Maintenance Required" checkbox) you don't need to overhaul any ship, military of civilian.
Also you cannot post images until you have 10 post IIRC. It's an anti spam measure.
