I second Andrews suggestion of IDLgrPolyline and XOBJVIEW:
IDL> len=1800
IDL> data = FLTARR(3,len)
IDL> data[0,*] = SIN(FINDGEN(len)*!DTOR)
IDL> data[1,*] = FINDGEN(len)/100.
IDL> data[2,*] = COS(FINDGEN(len)*!DTOR)
IDL> oLine = OBJ_NEW('IDLgrPolyline', data, THICK=3, COLOR=[80,230,200])
IDL> oMod = OBJ_NEW('IDLgrModel')
IDL> oMod -> Add, oLine
IDL> xobjview, oMod
XOBJVIEW's interface is a bit constricting but it may be all you need.
If you want to "get into" the flightpath, you know fly around the
flightpath, then you'll want to check out my camera. If you get to that
point, let me know.

The easiest way might be to use xplot3d.

What about XOBJVIEW?
Or, if you really want to get out there, and follow your spacecraft,
try
Rick Towler's camera objects.
