A little bit of digging around with the Chrome inspector shows that it loads data from a JSON file that sits on the server:
http://stuffin.space/TLE.json http://stuffin.space/TLE.json
No network traffic is generated after the initial load so my guess is that this JSON file is generated on the server from some other data source and is read on load and then continues to calculate positions from that initial load. The data on the server changes every 10 - 15 minutes it seems...must be a script updating it.
