The term, "satellite", applies to virtually every body in the celestial heavens - in other words, nearly everything in space is a satellite.
Any body that revolves around or orbts another is, technically, a satellite. The earth is a satellite to the sun. The moon is the earth's satellite. M
Most of the asteroids revolve around the sun, and therefore, are technically, its satellites.

So that is practically only an imagination of asteroid hitting the satellite. But I must appreciate the intuitive mind behind the question!
