Highly accurate astrometry of asteroids in the frame of QSOs will provide the direct link between the Dynamical Reference Frame and the International Celestial Reference Frame. We propose a procedure that implies a selection of events for asteroids with accurately determined orbits crossing the CCD field containing the selected quasars. For asteroid ephemerides, a numerical integration method coupled with precise modelling of asteroid brightness will be used for analyzing our observations. A list of predictions for this type of “close approaches” will be presented.
