Comparison of VLBI and SLR geocentric site coordinatesResults are reported from a systematic comparison of the geocentric coordinates determined for 18 pairs of VLBI and satellite laser ranging (SLR) sites. The data and results are presented in tables and briefly characterized. The rms differences in the X, Y, and Z coordinates are found, after a 7-parameter frame adjustment, to be 15, 22, and 22 mm, respectively. The potential usefulness of a combined VLBI-SLR reference frame for spacecraft tracking and similar applications is indicated.
