Predictability in orbital behaviour of artificial satellites depends on several factors: the accuracy required, the particular dynamical models formulated, the sets of variables chosen to describe them, the numerical or analytical techniques used and, specially, the specific trajectories to be established. In this paper we address the problem of predictability for highly eccentric satellites with (J2 + J22)-perturbation, by using numerical techniques to integrate the equations of motion when expressed in different sets of regular variables.
