06. Would spaceflight controllers be able to warn us about approaching meteors and asteroids? (A K2S Question)

This may be possible but it is more likely that there will be a network of distant satellites or other unmanned spacecraft that will be sent deep into the solar system to monitor approaching meteors and asteroids. If any such object is detected, a message would be sent to many different Earth stations at the same time.
