Some aspects of the realisation of a celestial reference frame using a space astrometry facility are considered. An observational program is described, consisting of observing stars up to magnitude 14, radiostars and bright QSO's, planets, asteroids and of laser signals from the Earth. A scheme of an astrometric facility consisting of two telescopes on board the satellite is proposed. The overview strategy with “inita” is estimated, and the estimates of the accuracy of a single observation (0.″02-0.″05) and of the output catalogues (0.″001-0.″007) are made.
