The MOC issued a Tracking notice On January 3, saying: “The next day it was indicated that the orbit corresponds to the artificial subject 2018-017a, falconing a heavy above stage with the Tesla Roadster. The 2018 CN41 designation has been deleted and will be listed as omitted. ”
The new space objects are discovered all the time. It is an important thing. Astronomers aim to find and follow asteroids that could potentially hit Earth.
