In 2018, a piece of space debris the size of a softball hit the ISS, creating a hole in the hull of the station. The ISS crew members were able to repair the damage using epoxy and tape.
In 2019, a piece of space debris the size of a baseball hit the ISS, creating a small dent in the hull of the station. The ISS crew members were able to repair the damage using a patch kit.
