The remaining matter of a meteorite consists of the solid material that survives its passage through Earth's atmosphere and lands on the surface. This material can include a variety of minerals, metals, and sometimes organic compounds, depending on the meteorite's classification (e.g., stony, iron, or stony-iron). The composition provides valuable insights into the early solar system and the processes that formed planetary bodies.
A meteorite that originates from Mars.
A meteorite that contains a significant amount of iron.

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. I know they say a satellite has crashed to earth etc but its is still a meteorite. But the definition of meteorite is an object that has come from space and actually impacted with the planet.

A bit of matter that enters the Earth's atmosphere and survives to reach the ground is called a meteorite. Meteorites are rocks or metal fragments that originate in outer space and survive the heat and pressure of atmospheric entry to impact the Earth's surface.
No. A meteorite is a rock.
