I read earlier this year that the antenna system for monitoring space objects was shut down due to "budgetary constraints"

Seems that the system was older but reliable and accurate.

Here it is:

Great name for a rock band - “Earth Smashing Space Rocks”. Sort of an interstellar name versus earthbound “Smashing Pumpkins” and “Smashmouth”.
