The goal of quantum tracking control is to identify shaped fields to steer observable expectation values along designated time-dependent tracks. The fields are determined via an iteration-free procedure, which is based on inverting the underlying dynamical equations governing the controlled observables. In this paper, we generalize the ideas in [Phys. Rev. A 98, 043429 (2018)] to the task of orienting symmetric top molecules in three dimensions. To this end, we derive equations for the control fields capable of directly tracking the expected value of the three-dimensional dipole orientation vector along a desired path in time. In conclusion, we show this framework can be utilized for tracking the orientation of linear molecules as well, and present numerical illustrations of these principles for symmetric-top tracking control problems.
