The aim of this paper is to give a brief description of the astrometric model accuracy at the current stage of the implementation in GASS (simulator) and GDAAS2 (Data Reduction study). The astrometric model described is a set of algorithms which relate the astrometric parameters with the observed directions on the satellite quasi-intertial reference frame. This includes the kinematics of point sources, the relativistic light deflection due to Solar System gravitational field and the aberration. The description of this model was given by Klioner (2002), The form of these algorithms is slightly different in the telemetry simulations (S.A. Klioner, ANSI-C code) and in the data reduction scheme (Lindegren 2002, Fortran90). Both versions make use of the ephemeris for the Solar System by Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur (Mignard 2003, Fortran 90). All these algorithms have been wrapped or recoded since the simulations and data reduction both run in a Java environment. All these manipulations required a strict verification since these algorithms constitute the core of the GIS (Global Iterative Solution). We present the compatibility tests performed during last year that helped us to make fully compatible the simulated data with the data reduction scheme.
