Abstract

This paper reports on our observing campaign of faint satellites performed at the National Time Service Center and Sheshan station of SHAO from 1994 up to today. In the past few years due to benefit from using a large size CCD and the publication of the modern catalogues (UCAC2), a series of observations of faint satellites were obtained by us. Moreover the work of improving the orbit of Phoebe via numerical fit to the observations over a century is also presented.
