Abstract

In order to obtain coordinate transformations between our CDP-VLBI terrestrial coordinate frame and the corresponding frames used by the Goddard Space Flight Center SLR group, the University of Texas Center for Space Research SLR group, and Deep Space Network, we obtained geocentric, Cartesian coordinates and formal errors of five locations in our system and those of the two SLR groups, and of three locations in our system and that of the Deep Space Network. After transformation we found that both SLR coordinate sets agree at the 20 to 30 mm level with our values. The Deep Space Network values, with higher formal errors than the other sets, agree at the half meter level.
