Abstract
The Deep Space Network is currently engaged in establishing a new high-accuracy VLBI celestial reference frame. This article discusses the present status of the task of finding suitable celestial radio sources for constructing this reference frame. To date, 564 VLBI sources have been detected, with 166 of these lying within 10° of the ecliptic plane. The variation of the sky distribution of these sources with source strength is examined.
