Have you ever thought that why don’t a meteor collide with any satellite.

This is because size of maximum meteors is smaller than a football. And orbit of satellites is so huge that distance between two satellites is also very huge compared to size of meteors.
Almost every time they fall between the gaps .

Only one satellite has been ever been destroyed by a meteor.
The European space agency’s Olympus in 1993.
