Abstract
This paper suggests a way to calculate a "realistic" orbit model. A satellite is always subject to several perturbations caused by inhomogeneities in the Earth\´s gravitational field, atmospheric drag, solar pressure and further stochastic influences. For most of these perturbations, especially for gravitation and atmospheric drag there are models existing, whereas in this paper we will confine ourselves to the gravitational influence.
