Abstract
Until very recently the only available source of accurate positions for the Moon and planets were the american export ephemerides from JPL in particular DE86/LE40 which expired in May 1979 and then DE96/LE44 and DE102/LE51. Unfortunately, these ephemerides were constructed for various applications, but are not necessarily adapted for a purpose such as the EROLD program. Furthermore, these ephemerides are badly documented, which prevents having good homogeneity with the computations for the representation of the various motions of a lunar laser reflector with respect to a terrestrial station. Thus, in this framework, some other studies were useful.
