A tiny hole was found in the solar panel of a small satellite orbiting Earth .

Lithuania -based satellite manufacturer NanoAvionics discovered the 0.24-inch -wide ( 6 -millimeter) hole in its MP42 satellite.

The hole is so small it caused no measurable drop in solar panel's electricity output.

Larger orbiting structures, such as the International Space Station , are at a greater risk of collisions.
