+In orbit the briefing's Live Signals page (OBSERVED / MAPPED PINGS) lists
+what is around the satellite, as the aircraft Cockpit lists the contacts
+of its Contacts snapshot (`src/ui/cockpitOrbitalSignals.js`): five rows at
+most, rebuilt once a second with stable keys, so a row keeps its place and
+time. TRACK ACQUIRED stays first. Then:
+
+- **Sites**: the Mapped Installations layer's loaded records around the
+  sub-satellite point (`getNearby`, asked only as far as the reach extends
+  over the ground) that face the satellite and lie within the off-nadir
+  reach, nearest to nadir first, the focused site always among them. A row
+  reads the site's name over its class and off-nadir angle; its button
+  (`Keep the camera on …`) focuses the site, and on the focused site's row,
+  marked as the subject is (`FOCUS · …`, `Release the camera from …`), ends
+  the focus. With Mapped Installations off the layer keeps its records, so
+  nothing is listed then: a SITES STANDBY row says to turn the layer on.
+- **Satellites**: the nearest shown satellites to the ridden one, debris
+  left out (the satellites layer's bounded `getNearestPositions`, measured
+  from the satellite itself), with their bearing from the top of the frame
+  and distance. A row (`Ride …`) rides that satellite. While there is a
+  satellite ridden before this one, a RETURN · *name* row goes back to it; if
+  that satellite has left the catalogue it is dropped and RETURN offers the
+  one before. Riding stays in orbit: the satellites layer tracks the new
+  satellite (`trackById`), the Cockpit takes the camera back at once and
+  marks it as the ridden subject, any ground focus ends with the view easing
+  back to nadir, and the camera hops to the new satellite along the great
+  circle over 1.2 s (cut under reduced motion), keeping the zoom. Until the
+  camera is on the new satellite the page shows only TRACK ACQUIRED and
+  RETURN, then rebuilds at once.
+
+Sites take two rows while satellites fill the rest, more when there are
+fewer satellites. The Contact card stays hidden in orbit.
+
+The focus (`src/ui/cockpitOrbitalFocus.js`, geometry in
+`src/cockpitOrbitalFocus.js`) aims the look each frame from the satellite's

+the pick is resolved through the layer's own pick ids (`findByPick`: a named
+marker's `{ installationId }` or a site entity). A click anywhere else, the
+focused site's row, NADIR, Home or `0` ends the focus and the view eases
+back to nadir on the same clock; an arrow ends it (or the ease back) and
+tilts on from where the view is. The layer reloads its thinned view as the
+camera moves (about once a second in orbit), so a site in view can leave
+its records for a moment: while the layer is on, a site seen in the last
+10 s stays a candidate (sites do not move), so the rows hold still and a
+row's site can be focused, and a focused site keeps its last position. The focus ends by
+itself, easing back, when the site leaves the reach (either tilt axis past
+±45°, or the site below the satellite's horizon), when the layer is turned
+off, when another satellite is ridden, and with the orbital view. A site
