<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> For the first time, a homogeneous coordinate solution in the IGS05 reference frame and the values of the zenith tropospheric refraction for the GPS weeks 935-1399 (from December 12, 1997 to November 4, 2006) were obtained at the GNSS Data Center Analysis of the Main Astronomical Observatory NAS of Ukraine. The obtained solution is devoid of effects, brought by changes in the methods of processing models, a priori data and software (absolute phase center model combinations of antenna-dome instead of relative models, model of ocean loading FES2004 instead of GOT00.2_PP, the elevations cut-off angle 3° instead of 10°, etc. were used). To estimate the quality of the solution, a comparison with the international combined solutions using the Helmert transformation was carried out. The RMS of direct station coordinate differences and correlation coefficients between the solutions estimated by the Main Astronomical Observatory, European GNSS Permanent Network and International GNSS Service are presented. The obtained results allow making the conclusion that the solution obtained at the GNSS Data Center Analysis of the Main Astronomical Observatory shows a good quality and agrees well with other solutions.</abstract>
