Given the distance to the sun and proximity to the asteroid, shouldn’t the vehicle and its shadow be essentially the same size?

  I'd assume without an atmosphere to diffuse light, the sun is basically a point light for 95% of the Solar System.

    It's a point light infinitely far away. So light rays are parallel, and shadows are exactly the size of the object.

        Yes, for all intents and purposes.
