The ESA satellite Hipparcos provides valuable photometric and astrometric results on minor planets and natural satellites. Observations of 48 asteroids, JII-Europa, S VI-Titan and S VIII-Iapetus were made from November 1989 to March 1993. A twenty seconds averaged normal place is constructed, providing thus positions accurate to a few hundredths of arcseconds and relative to a very precise and homogeneous reference frame.
