So this is their latest update. I also wonder if you can somehow track the capsule & its path using this PVO data.

P: (-192738, -80056, -26030)
V: (-886, -787, -366)
O: 53º, 51.2º, 12.2º

In: 3

“PVO” on its own might be referring to a collision-avoidance algorithm.

Instead, the data you’ve posted appears to be describing the position, velocity, and orientation of the craft.
