docs(cockpit): describe the orbital view's sensor-aware zoom
The Orbital view section said the zoom stops at 8x. It now covers the 16x to 128x steps for satellites with a confirmed sensor swath, capped from live altitude, the mouse wheel, the SENSOR button, the to-scale swath strip and readout (approximate off nadir), the imagery pre-load ahead of the ground track, the TLE age on the identifier line, and that the sensor values cite operator and agency pages per platform.

the satellite's live altitude and the window's shape is still at least as

wide as that swath (`orbitalMaxZoom` in `src/cockpitOrbital.js`); when the

cap falls below the zoom shown, the view steps back to it. Unconfirmed
|

swaths add no steps. The sensor's swath is drawn to scale as a strip along

the ground track with a SENSOR SWATH readout, and a SENSOR button zooms
|

to exactly that width when it lies between 1× and the cap. Tilted off nadir

the strip stays (view and swath widen alike), the readout scales as the swath
|

readout does (`SENSOR SWATH ≈ 191 KM`), and SENSOR, a nadir framing, is

nadir, every 2 s the view asks the base imagery layer for the tiles it will

||||
need 5 to 20 s ahead along the ground track (`prefetchImageryAhead` in
|
||||
`src/ui/cockpitOrbitalView.js`), so the browser has them cached when the
|
||||
view arrives. The level is the one Cesium will draw there
|
||||
(`imageryLevelForView` in `src/cockpitOrbital.js`, following Cesium's own
|
||||
choice: the terrain level whose error spans at most the globe's maximum
|
||||
screen-space error, then the imagery level whose texels are nearest that
|
||||
error, about one to two screen pixels per texel). It asks for at most 12
|
||||
tiles at a time through Cesium's request scheduler, throttled per server and
|
||||
at the lowest priority, so a request is declined while the imagery server's
|

slots are taken by the tiles on screen and is the first dropped when the

scheduler is full (a declined tile is asked for again later); it remembers the last 512 tiles asked for and does not ask
