The accuracy of this ephemeris is good; the position of the Earth or Mars, for example, should be accurate to within 2 km. But the more recent DE421 ephemeris provides greater accuracy, especially with respect to the Moon, and you should use it instead if you are planning a space mission. For missions to Mercury or Venus, DE423 will be an even better choice.

See DE406 if you are interested in a similar ephemeris for dates far in the past or future, or DE422 if you want high accuracy over a long time period (and have enough disk space).

To compute using this ephemeris in Python, see the jplephem package.
