Short answer is no. Here on Earth space “starts” at around 100 km. Above this we kind of have a vacuum. The same would be true for the asteroid (above a certain point the pressure is very low). As long as we release the lowered atoms above this point there would be no atmospheric pressure to fight against.
Good question!
