Strange quark matter, a (still) hypothetical absolutely stable form of cold quark matter with high strangeness content has been investigated for many years, in both its "normal" and paired versions. Chunks of this matter (strangelets) would be ejected in astrophysical events and later reprocessed by collisions with ordinary nuclei in space. We analyze the latter processes, including abrasion, fusion and fission of the original strangelets to understand the physics of these interactions both in the interstellar medium and in the earth's atmosphere. We include finite temperature effects to calculate radii, electric charges and energies for the strangelets with the aim of helping ground-based and space experiments and make comparisons with anomalous cosmic primaries reported in the literature.
