Just to be sure, you mean telemetry in the sense of "retrieve latest ISS " telemetry, or "evil marketing 101 phone-home" telemetry...?

yes of course. If you go to https://iss-mimic.github.io/Mimic/ you can see the websocket to `wss://push.lightstreamer.com/lightstreamer` being opened and the stream of events. That provides a stream of ALL ISS telemetry data and this app is only making use of the urine tank data.

Evil marketing 101 phone-home telemetry would be going in the other direction.

So I guess in effect you're sort of getting the ISS's phone-home telemetry?
