Because of the nature of observations with the HIPPARCOS, the observations will be reduced to a set of positions, motions, and parallaxes with respect to a rigid reference frame (HIPPARCOS Instrumental System). This reference frame will have an unknown a priori rotation with respect to both an inertial reference frame and an extragalactic reference frame.
