Abstract

The paper introduces a new time element to be used with a general time transformation for satellite equations of motion. The purpose of this time element is to reduce the growth of the numerical errors with respect to the time integration. It is characteristic for the new time element τ, that the relation between the timet and the element τ does not depend on the independent variables.
