A new regularization method for fast and accurate propagation of roto-translationally coupled asteroids

There is a well-distinguished group of asteroids for which the roto-translational cou-pling is known to have a non-negligible e�ect in the long-term. The study of such asteroids suggests the use of specialized propagation techniques, where perturbation methods make their best. The techniques from which the special regularization method DROMO is derived, have now been extended to the attitude dynamics, with equally remarkable results in terms of speed and accuracy, thus making the combination of these algorithms specially. well-suited to deal with the propagation of bodies with strong attitude coupling.
