Abstract A unique characteristic of space-VLBI for geodynamic studies is pointed out: space-VLBI provides a direct connection between the Conventional Inertial Reference System of extragalactic radio sources and geocentric reference systems of extragalactic radio sources and geocentric reference systems defined by dynamical methods respectively. New satellite projects (Quasat, Radioastron) are in preparation requiring precise orbits; different satellite tracking methods are discussed for this purpose.
