contents The International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) plays an important role in astronomy and geodesy. The realization of ICRF is based on the position of thousands of quasars observed using the Very-Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique. Better quality of ICRF is achieved when the position of the quasars is stable. In this study, we aim to analyze the stability of one of the quasars in ICRF called 4C31.61 (2201+315). We performed VLBI data analysis by using Vienna VLBI and Satellite Software (VieVS) to get the position of the quasar. We also used the data of the quasar's position from the Paris Observatory Geodetic VLBI Center. We examined the stability of the quasar position by using the Allan standard deviation technique. We found that the quasar 4C31.61 (2201+315) has a stable position with the dominance of white noise across the majority of time scales.
