26,500 miles is getting close to the area of the geo-synchronous satellites. I wonder if there might be a rather spectacular collision with one of them.

That would be cool, in a very expensive way.

Actually the geosynchronous satellites, even though they are spread out over a ring over 50,000 miles in diameter, are in a fairly thin band and present a much smaller aggregate cross section than the earth itself. I would expect the planet to be hit more often than any of them.

Both objects might as well be the size of a grain of sand considering the distances involved.

It doesn't matter if the asteroid hits the satellite, or the satellite hits the asteroid, it's going to be bad for the satellite!
