Why CelesTrak is cached
Cloudflare egress cannot currently reach CelesTrak reliably. GP and SOCRATES data are warmed from a reachable network, retained in KV, and served within explicit 2 h / 11 h policies. This page reads cache metadata only.

Source identity is bundled with the site. Mutable health is joined at runtime: when the gateway is unavailable, citations remain and freshness is shown as unknown rather than invented.
Checking the same-origin cache envelope. This request never refreshes an upstream.

A last good copy is being served because its upstream was not reached or its TTL elapsed. CACHED is evidence about transport freshness, not a claim that the underlying observation is wrong.
Fleet ranges are not one scalar coordinate system. Perseverance is Mars-centred, JWST is geocentric, and the deep-space probes are heliocentric; each payload retains its centre.
