Scientific paper

It is shown how to use quick numerical procedures for computing elliptic functions and integrals to determine the free motion of an artificial satellite around its center of mass. The algorithm presented here gives the values of the parameters determining the motion for an arbitrary moment t if initial values of the parameters for the moment t zero are known. The obtained formulas make it possible to calculate the motion in each of the three cases: the motion around the minor, the intermediary, and the major main axis of the moment of inertia tensor.
