Abstract
The transition from legacy S/X geodetic VLBI systems to dedicated broadband
receivers represented by the VGOS system require a period of operational overlap
between the new and the old systems. In order to do so, local-tie measurements
between the co-located telescopes at OSO and other sites needs to be performed
to place the telescopes in the same reference frame. A working methodology and
performance analysis of such measurements has been performed at the Onsala Space
Observatory, and show promising results for future work, both locally and globally.
With these results, transition to a fully operational VGOS system will be made
possible
