There's a dropped cargo pod, containing a single satellite.

I have a cargo landing pad slightly to the south for space science, with plenty of space which I'd usually get, but:
1) Why drop a satellite

Launching more satellites drops space science as expected, and I'm not sure when this appeared...
Not sure if this is a bug, but it's hella weird.

Save game attached.
