It was recognized over a year ago that a requirement to improve the ephemerides of the natural satellites existed and that it might be satisfied by a coordinated effort. Both the national ephemeris offices, which publish the satellite ephemerides, and NASA, which plans to send spacecraft to observe the satellites, require improved ephemerides of the natural satellites, but individually none of the organizations has the personnel or finances to undertake the task alone. At that time a few people and institutions had become interested in or were beginning to work on the theories and to make observations of the satellites. It was apparent that if the efforts of the various people and institutions were coordinated and others were encouraged to contribute, it might be possible in the next five years to satisfy the requirement for improved ephemerides. The coordinated effort includes personnel from the University of Texas, Smithsonian Astrophysical Center, University of Cincinnati, Bureau des Longitudes, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, University of Virginia, Vanderbilt University, Lowell Observatory, NASA Headquarters, and the U.S. Naval Observatory, with the latter institution serving as the coordinator.
