    Which man-made satellites have been destroyed by meteors?

    Question #56667. Asked by gmackematix. (Apr 14 05 7:39 PM)

    		I only know of one satellite destroyed by a meteor. In 1993, the European Space Agency's Olympus satellite was damaged when a meteor struck its navigational control system, making the bird useless.
