Abstract
This paper derives astrometric data for the Galilean satellites from 213 li ght curves of 86 mutual eclipses and occultations that occurred in 1990-199 2. Comparisons of these data with predictions based on the most precise mod ern ephemeris (E5) generally show good agreement, although it is rather poo rer in the case of J1 (Io).
