Relating the JPL VLBI Reference Frame and the Planetary Ephemerides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
A series of VLBI observations of planet-orbiting spacecraft and angularly nearby quasars has provided an estimate of the relative orientation of the JPL VLBI reference frame and the ephemeris frame of the inner planets. We find the two frames to be coincident in both right ascension and declination to less than 20 milliarcseconds (mas).
