Abstract

A simple and flexible algorithm for combination of space geodesy observations is presented. The CoCoS software that implements this algorithm is described in details. The combined GPS-VLBI solution for the CONT02 VLBI experiment data and observations from co-located GPS sites is obtained and discussed.
