Abstract

National Geographic Institute of Spain has a strong background concerning technical aspects of geodetic VLBI. As a step forward in this field, a VLBI analysis team has been set up and tests with different software packages have been carried out. In this sense, two VLBI software packages have been used for experimentation activities in order to compare and validate IGE capability to produce accurate and consistent geodetic products, specifically Earth Orientation Parameters, station coordinates and troposphere delays. The purpose of this contribution is to present the results of these analyses, including some tests to use GNSS-based troposphere delay in VLBI processing and the study of gravitational deformation in Yebes radiotelescope.
