Oops, I forgot that I wanted orthogonal matrices. But Helas:
sage: solve((A*A.transpose()-MatrixSpace(QQ,2)(1)).list(), A.list())
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError Traceback (most recent call

...
ValueError: Unable to solve [a_0_1^2 + a_0_0^2 - 1, a_0_1*a_1_1 +
a_0_0*a_1_0, a_0_1*a_1_1 + a_0_0*a_1_0, a_1_1^2 + a_1_0^2 - 1] for
([a_0_0, a_0_1, a_1_0, a_1_1],)
Bad luck indeed.
Best regards,
Simon
