GENERAL INFORMATION
Since October 1, 2021, the CC UPN GNSS of the State Enterprise "Research Institute of Geodesy and Cartography" (RIGC) has been regularly processing GNSS observations from stations of the Ukrainian Permanent GNSS Network (UPN GNSS), as well as from stations of neighboring countries that are included in the international IGS (International GNSS Service) network. As a result, the coordinates of GNSS stations are available with high accuracy. The results are available here .
To monitor the stability of permanent GNSS stations, products from IGS and CODE (satellite orbit ephemeris and clock corrections) are used. The results are available here .
ITRF2020
The input data for processing observations at permanent GNSS stations are station coordinates and the rate of change of coordinates of the IGS network in the ITRS/ITRF2020 coordinate system and observations at the stations.
Daily solutions are obtained in parallel in two software products GAMIT/GLOBK Version 10.71 and Bernese GNSS Software Version 5.4.
The main parameters used for processing are given below:

UCS-2000
The coordinates of permanent GNSS stations in the UCS-2000 State Geodetic Reference Coordinate System are obtained by transforming coordinates from ITRS/ITRF2020 to UCS-2000 based on parameter values and parameter changes published on the official website of the European Permanent Network and on the website of the International Terrestrial Reference System website .
Station coordinates calculated using Bernese GNSS Software are obtained by transforming coordinates from ITRS/ITRF2020 to UCS-2000
Station coordinates calculated using GAMIT/GLOBK are obtained by stabilizing the solution to station coordinates in the UCS-2000 system.
ETRS89/ETRF2014
The coordinates of permanent GNSS stations in the European terrestrial reference coordinate system ETRS/ETRF2014 at the epoch 2022.000 are obtained by transforming the coordinates from ITRS/ITRF2020 to UCS-2000 and from UCS-2000 to ETRS/ETRF2014 according to the parameter values and parameter changes published on the official website of the European Permanent Network and on the website of the International Terrestrial Reference System website .
The values of the Helmert parameters between the UCS-2000 and ETRS89/ETRF2014 systems (at epoch 2022.000) are:
ΔX = 24.3201 м
ΔY = - 121.3744 м
ΔZ = - 75.7981 м
m = - 0.003440 × 10-6
εx = 0.001428
εy = 0.009193
εz = - 0.011946
where ΔX, ΔY, ΔZ - express the offset vector of the start of the UCS-2000 coordinate system relative to the ETRS89/ETRF2014 coordinate system;
εx, εy, εz - angular elements that express the rotation of the axes of the UCS-2000 coordinate system to ensure their parallelism with the axes of the ETRS89/ETRF2014 system;
m - scale factor.
