Would it be possible to change the orientation of a
satellite dynamically when Celestia is running ?

Do you mean that you want to change the orientation with the mouse?

Imagine that i we have a satellite and i decide to change his orbit or orientation then i would like to be able to feed new values in realtime like this:

Period 0.064176392
SemiMajorAxis 6767
Eccentricity 0.0016886
Inclination 51.5684
AscendingNode 343.1518
ArgOfPericenter 346.2476
MeanAnomaly 13.8216
Epoch 2452028.18381755

and see in realtime the change in celestia without reloading Celestia

Would it be possible to uses the celstia parsing engine to parse scripts with new orbital informations like this for example:

"ISS" "Sol/Earth"
{ EllipticalOrbit { Inclination 52.5684 } }

and celestia would act accordingly
