    2.00 x 10^4kg

    Mass is constant regardless of where an object is.

    Weight is what changes based on gravity, as it is equal to mass*gravitational force.

    Mass is a property of the object, and doesn't change.

    If the spacecraft has 2 x 10⁴ kg of mass, then its mass is 2 x 10⁴ kg.

    Anywhere.
