Scientific paper
This paper describes the implementation of two computer programs that predict the motion of artificial satellites. The two programs are developed in a microcomputer environment. The particular microcomputer used is an IBM AT system. The programs can predict the orbital behavior of artificial satellites under the influence of gravity harmonics up to a 21 by 21 field, luni-solar gravity, drag, and solar radiation pressure. One program uses Cowell's method and the other uses variation of parameters with a singly averaging technique. Both programs use commercially available software to post-process trajectory information and to generate graphics display. The programs reside on floppy disks and are available to the general public through NASA's Computer Software Management and Information Center (COSMIC).
