One major hazard in space is the potential collision with a meteoroid. Meteoroids and micro-meteoroids can be found throughout our solar system. These objects can be a hazard for a spacecraft traveling to Mars. A collision with a small particle of debris can significantly damage the spacecraft. This can put our astronauts at great risk, because currently, our spacecrafts do not have the radar tracking systems that can spot objects smaller than a baseball in advance.http://aerospacescholars.jsc.nasa.gov/HAS/cirr/em/9/4.cfm
