Is an object from space that hit the earth's surface?

If the object actually makes it to the Earths surface it is called a Meteorite. It does not matter if its man made or from outer space.

Does a satellite have mass when it is in outer space?

The mass of an object is the object's mass. It makes no difference where the object is, what the temperature is, whether it's night or day, on Earth or the far side of the moon, in the northern or western hemisphere, at the bottom of the deepest ocean or on top of the highest mountain, asleep or awake. Whatever mass it had yesterday, wherever it was, is the same mass it has today, wherever it is. Have I made myself clear ?
