Abstract
This work is a continuation of our study of the efficiency of two well-known methods for the numerical integration of the equations of motion of planetary satellites together with the variational equations of the system. The methods are the 10th-order Gauss-Jackson backward-difference method described in [4, 6] and the Runge-Kutta-Nyström RKN12(10)17M [1].
