Abstract
Additional test cases were run using a precision special perturbations program employing either Cowell's method or a variation-of-parameters method to compute a nearly circular, nearly equatorial orbit using two different perturbative accelerations. The results obtained again indicate that the variation-of-parameters method with a predict-only integrator and Cowell's method with a predict-partialcorrect integrator are equally efficient, and both are significantly more efficient than Cowell’s method with a predict-correct integrator.
