In the future, the ephemerides produced at JPL will be based upon the reference frame of the radio source catalogues. Recent planetary observations have been made directly with respect to the radio frame, and these observations have shown a satisfying degree of absolute accuracy and internal consistency; they provide an automatic frame-tie.
