In connection with the precision growth in modern astrometry, General Relativity (GR) has become a necessary basis of celestial mechanics and of computations of ephemerides of planets and other space objects, from the point of view of both the laws of motion and the expression of measurable (observable) quantities in terms of Reference Frames (RFs) notions. In this report we summarize the RF theory in GR (in the monad as well as in the tetrad representation) and give examples of specific gravitational effects. In any theory of RFs an important element consists on separation of the RF and system-of-coordinates (SC) notions, with a constructive description of projectors onto the physical temporal and spatial directions, of the observables as invariants (scalars) under SC transformations, as well as of the transformation laws of these observables under transitions between different RFs. For a more detailed though still incomplete synopsis of the monad and tetrad methods of RF representation in GR, see our preprint [1].
