Results are presented on the use of high-order Runge-Kutta methods for the numerical prediction of satellite orbits, with allowance for perturbations. An analysis is presented of the effectiveness of Runge-Kutta methods in the integration of the classical Newtonian equations of satellite motion, and equations of motion stabilized with the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel transformation. It is shown that the use of the high-order Runge-Kutta methods makes it possible to increase the position-prediction accuracy by two to three orders of magnitude. The regularizing and stabilizing transformations give good results for low-eccentricity orbits and for orbits with eccentricities close to unity.
