The strategy for linking the HIPPARCOS Catalogue to extragalactic objects originally devised for the geostationary orbit, is no longer adequate for the elliptical orbit to which the satellite is now confined, but useful improvements in the rotation matrix may be obtained by incorporating proper motions from certain other catalogues and from ground based absolute proper motions.
