The local, regional and global geodetic networks are recently almost exclusively observed by satellite radionavigation methods, such as the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS), and the Russian navigation system GLONASS. The unprecedented accuracy of geodetic satellite positioning allows determination of the geocentric site coordinates at millimetre level. The paper points to complex adjustment model applied for combination of 3D coordinates observed in permanent and epoch-wise satellite networks....

The paper presents in a generalized form the problem of the geodetic network adjustment by the Helmert-Pranis Pranievich groups method (groups with junction points included or not). The adjustment problem, as well as the cofactor matrix derivation for the partial-independent and linkage unknowns, was completely formulated by transformed weight matrix definition and usage. A complete sequence of the computing stages for the geodetic networks divided into groups without junction points was given for...
