The PMOE planetary/lunar ephemeris framework was established in 2003, and has been improved in recent years. In the framework of the post-Newtonian effects, the figure perturbation effects arising from the a finite size of the Sun, Moon and the Earth, and the effect of the Earth tide were taken into account. The accuracy of using the PMOE ephemeris to predict the positions of the planets in the solar system are the same as that of JPL DE 405. Based on this framework, the orbit optimization for the LISA, ASTROD and ASTROD I missions, and the computation of celestial phenomena and lunar phases in the Xia Shang and Zhou period of ancient China have been completed.
