Like a bullet. Or even tinier. Just big enough to poke a small hole.
I assume they made the spacesuits pretty much puncture resistant.

Microscopic. A meteor shower composed of microscopic particles traveling at several tens of thousands of miles an hour could tear through someone like a shotgun.

The size is not an issue, it is the speed at which it is traveling. Any object in space can be a hazard to both astronaut and shuttle if it's moving fast enough.

As small as a grain of sand,traveling at a high enough speed.
