| contents | We develop a numerical scheme for the Kepler problem that preserves exactly all first integrals: angular momentum, total energy, and the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector. This property ensures that orbital trajectories retain their precise shape and orientation over long times, avoiding the spurious precession typical of many standard methods. The scheme uses an adaptive time step derived from a constant angular increment. Analytical considerations and numerical experiments demonstrate that the algorithm combines high accuracy with long-term stability. |
