abstract = "Actual, important problems of space dynamics are related to the
protection of the Earth and its close space environment. This
includes the study of disposal strategies for artificial
satellites, the real-time propagation of space catalogues of
thousands of objects, the fast prediction of orbit evolution of
fragmentation models, among others. Accurate predictions of orbit
dynamics require the integration of complete force models,
including both gravitational and non-gravitational effects. The
most accurate integration is expected from numerical methods.
However, in many cases, it is important to have available tools
for the instant propagation of the orbit evolution, as opposite to
precise ephemerides computation. These tools can be implemented
with the help of modern perturbation methods, which, in addition
to the mean element propagation, allow for the recovery of
short-period effects to provide osculating elements.",
