Abstract The computer program, used for computation of precise satellite orbits by analytical method had been modified to increase its accuracy. The modification consists mainly in implementation of orbit generator based on numerical integration of perturbations in spherical coordinates. Besides the theoretical background given, both methods are compared on the real case of Lageos observations obtained during pre-Merit campaign in 1980.
