Abstract

VLBI observations performed after release of ITRF2008 have been used for improvement of velocities of the ”Quasar” network stations Svetloe, Zelenchukskaya and Badary. Obtained values of velocities being compared with those derived from GPS data show agreement within 1.5 mm/y. Baselines for VLBI antenna reference points and GPS antenna markers show the consistency within 10 mm for the epoch 2005.0 when taking into account local tie parameters.
