I've only used Edit Mode once, and that was years ago. I know there are some keys you have to hold down (Shift+Ctrl+something, I think) and then use the right (?) mouse button to rotate stuff. To make your changes permanent, start Celestia from a command line and there should be a way to generate an align.log. It will contain some XYZ values that you can use in an Orientation statement.

Hi, CelestialFansInChina!
You enter edit mode with @. You probably want to do something more:
Start Celestia in verbose mode (from command line): celestia --verbose > align.log
Go to object as usual
Enter edit mode: @
Rotate around X and Y with ctrl+shift+left button+drag
Rotate around Z with ctrl+shift+right button+drag
Save with !
Exit Celestia
Read orientation and rotation in align.log
