Also, I wonder what kind of radar return you get off of mylar. You might have trouble hitting it if they put some effort into minimizing the return from the gondola.

Which would limit a lot of missile targeting systems, though heat-seekers might still find the powerplants. From images shown, the gondola itself might well be largely non-metallic. If that were made of composites, including framing, it should also have a pretty small radar signal. Lidar, properly tuned, could probably pick up something.
