Proxy_Orbiter is built from the 'guts' of the full Orbiter you see on MD's but in this case it's a UI'less piece of software that runs on the Core and its job is to render the UI for the Touch Orbiter that is running remotely on the target device. Each Touch Orbiter has an associated instance of Proxy_Orbiter and the two work in partnership. Proxy_Orbiters do all the 'heavy lifting' of rendering the UI and interacting with the rest of the underlying system and this allows the remote device that is running the Touch Orbiter to be a much less powerful and very simple device indeed if needed.
