The ISS has been hit by bits of small space junk before. It’s also successfully steered clear of more dangerous space debris. In 2015, the station adjusted its orbit to avoid a piece of a Minotaur rocket that had launched two years before. The @Space_Station has maneuvered 3 times in 2020 to avoid debris.
