John Doe I suggest you look up Kessler syndrome. Which predicts the cascade effect of a breakup of satellites. It is bad enough that a meteor could start such a cascade, but there a number of powers, such as the US, China and Russia who might wilfully trigger such an event in time of war or high international tension, as a means of destroying each others GPS systems and spy Satellites. The Chinese have already tested such a weapon, releasing a very large number of projectiles into orbit, described as ballbearing, when they tested it on one of their own satellites. Tracking a cloud of such small objects to avoid them could be difficult, since overtime they spread out in there orbit and can be reflected by impact with other specs junk.
