We have fitted numerically integrated orbits for the major Saturnian satellites to a large set of astrometric observations over the time interval 1966 September to 2003 December and to data obtained with the Pioneer 11 , Voyager , and Cassini spacecraft. The results of the fit are new ephemerides for the satellites and a revised gravity field for the Saturnian system. We include an accuracy assessment for the ephemerides and the gravity parameters.
