Using the computational advantages offered by the formulation of orbital problems with respect to the ideal frame, with or without regularization, we consider the multi–revolution methods to obtain numerically the short and long–term propagation of the resulting debris clouds after a breakup event of an operational satellite. The problem posed and solved in this form gives high efficiency. We think that software with these features will serve two purposes: it will support studies of the hazards of space debris for operational orbital space systems and also will help to create debris analysis programs more transferable and reliable.
