Satellite paths are only predictable in the short term. Predicting satellite paths beyond about a week is not possible unless you're comfortable with huge amounts of uncertainty. Newtonian physics says that ideal two-body problems are predictable to any point in the future. But ideal two-body problems exist nowhere in the universe, especially in near-earth orbit.
