Hi Laura, the osgGA library holds classes that are responsible for managing events from mouse, keyboard etc. You would be interested in osgGA::GUIEventHandler and its *handle* method. So You might want to inherit and override the *handle *method that will do processing based on keypress event - the event and the key are hidden in the first argument osgGA::GUIEventAdapter.
Once you have Your new EventHandler you simply add it to Your viewer - there is a method for it, see the osgviewer.cpp example The best for moving the ship in your scene is osg::MatrixTransoform - this is a node with a matrix to spatially manipulate parts of the scenegraph. Let this MatrixTransform be your root of the model (its child can be Your ship model) and you modify only the matrix which is part iof the MT. Do a research on the mentioned above, if you got stuck feel free to ask, someone might give you some code snippets as well Good luck!
