This paper first discloses various problems being posed when the traditional methods are used with large integration step size. Then, standing on these problems, the Class I and Class II off-grid methods usefully for the orbit computation of satellites are constructed using the generalized Hermite and quasi-Hermite interpolation polynominals. In the case of the Class I method, the algorithm which iso ne order higher than the highest order of the method given by Butcher is given. For the Class II method moreover, the algorithms of 3, 5, 7, 9 order are given.
