Answer:

Collisions create something called the Kessler Syndrome where it becomes a cascading effect: debris creates more debris which creates more and on and on it goes. Anything larger than 1 cm can damage or destroy satellites. ... Every so often NASA needs to readjust the station's orbit in order to avoid debris..

The Causes of Space Debris

Since that data compilation, many more are believed to have occurred. Breakups can be caused by explosions and collisions. Explosions can result from residual propellant, overheated batteries, collisions, or in some cases, deliberate destruction of the satellite.

Collisions with debris have become a hazard to spacecraft; the smallest objects cause damage akin to sandblasting, especially to solar panels and optics like telescopes or star trackers that cannot easily be protected by a ballistic shield.
