Scientific paper
The work performed to include observable planets and planet satellites in the Hipparcos input catalog is presented. The preparatory astrometric and photometric work needed to prepare the observations, and the considerations applied to their selection, are discussed. The magnitude of the minor planets proposed for observation by Hipparcos is analyzed, and those retained for observation are given. The position of minor planets in the input catalog is given by using their ephemerides, and examples of plots for Hebe and Flora planets, are given. Moreover, it is shown that Europa and Titan satellites can be adequately modulated by the Hipparcos main grid.
