This mission operates in deep space — beyond the regime where SGP4 and CelesTrak TLEs apply. Real-time positioning needs NASA's JPL Horizons system, which isn't wired up yet. We track ISS, Tiangong, Hubble, and Chandra in low/high Earth orbit instead.

En route to asteroid 16 Psyche — a metal-rich body that may be the exposed core of a protoplanet. Arrival expected in 2029.
