A simple analytic orbit propagator is presented which incorporates a mean-to-osculating transformation to generate a graphical display of the trajectories of earth-orbiting satellites. The first-order effects of the oblateness of the earth on the orbit are consistently included. The propagator encompasses a mean-to-osculating transformation on the semimajor axis, since large intrack errors can be generated by failing to observe the distinction between the mean and osculating values of this parameter.
