Long-Term Orbit Preditor (LOP) trajectory-propagation computer program is useful tool in analysis of lifetime of orbiting spacecraft. Suitable for studying planetary-orbit missions with reconnaissance (flyby) and exploratory (mapping) trajectories. Includes sample data for study of drift cycle of geosynchronous station, strategy for radar mapping of Venus, frozen orbit about Mars, and orbit characterized by repeating ground trace. Executed faster than such programs based on Cowell's method. Written in FORTRAN 77.
