Could it be disabled electronically from a distance? Thinking emp?
The Chinese space station was more or less a passive object, nothing to disable, it was a rock orbiting the earth. But generally sepaking, disabling with RF is a function of power. Most objects in spae are pretty "hard" against being interfered with, they are in a very harsh RF environment due to the sun and other "stuff."
EMP is a fairly high power event that causes circuits to open, go up in smoke.
With less power it is possible to spoof or otherwise affect some circuits, but not circuits that are protected from outside interference.
