Weathering is the decomposition of rocks or other materials due to the direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere.
Weathering occurs in situ, or "with no movement".
There is no "opposite" - there is no natural process that reverses weathering.
But decomposition of rocks that involves the movement and disintegration by agents such as water, ice, wind and gravity is called "erosion", so that could be the other extreme of decomposition of rocks.

The definition of weathering is overusing or to wear away...
The opposite if weathering would be conservation or preservation.

Why is this in astronomy and space?
The answer depends on the context. It could be something like restoration, replenishment, rejuvenation, etc.

Deposition?
Sedimentation? (this generally occurs underwater)
