Oolite JavaScript Reference: Frame Callbacks
From Elite Wiki
Frame callbacks are user-defined JavaScript functions that run on every single game "frame update".
Overview
These are faster than timers, which only fire 4 times a second. See Oolite JavaScript Reference: Timer for more on those.
Frame callbacks can be used for a number of purposes including animations
