They won't need to track them. Unlike back in the space race days, today the resulting orbit of every piece of equipment is calculated beforehand. Only an accident up there is going to create significant debris that we don't know the orbit of.
Abjectly inaccurate, G. The United States spends a lot of money and resources constantly tracking and cataloging objects in Earth orbit. That's because there are many factors that work to subtly alter an object's orbit vector over time, and even the best computer models can't cope with them all. Even in geosynchronous orbit, where near-Earth effects like atmospheric drag are minimal, there's enough other influences that affect the orbit that predictions devolve into little more than rough guesses, over time. Not to mention the errors that result from the ride into space itself. You're talking about trying to place objects the size of a sedan or even a bus into a precise location hundreds, thousands, or ten-thousands of miles away, with a precise velocity vector, using several hundred thousands of pounds of force. This, where even a tiny percent difference in actual burn duration and/or thrust can result in being off the mark by a hundred kilometers or more in position and many kph in velocity. Plus, some objects are so small that they can not be tracked with any certainty. Even when they
can be tracked by terrestrial sensors, the position accuracy can be off by differences measured in kilometers. Finally, while the nation launching an object into space may know with some degree of certainty where they intended to send it, this information is not always shared with the international community.
