Earlier this week, the Ras Laffan LNG export facility in northern Qatar, the largest of its kind in the world, was targeted in an Iranian drone attack, forcing the plant to close down for the first time in its three decades of operation. The extent of the global energy fallout will depend on the closure’s duration, but the facility’s shuttering already caused gas prices in Europe, one of the biggest importers of Qatari gas, to spike 50% on Monday.

There is a plan to prevent such a strike—the Space Surveillance Network, a bevy of sensors that the military uses to track space debris. NASA monitors what’s unofficially known as the “pizza box,” a sort of no-fly zone around the ISS. When pieces of debris are predicted to enter the box—if there’s at least a 1 in 100,000 chance of collision—mission controllers order avoidance maneuvers, firing thrusters that move the ISS and dodge the trash. The technique has been used dozens of times since the first ISS module launched in 1998. But the system only tracks about 45,000 larger pieces, and all sensors have noise. Plus, risk thresholds can miss stuff, sometimes badly. In 2025, Chinese astronauts were briefly stranded at their station after debris hit their return vehicle.
