     abstract = "{We describe the development and assessment of a new terrestrial
        reference frame (TRF) based on a combination of geodetic
        techniques at the observation level over the period
        2010{\textendash}2022. Included in the solution are observations
        from the Global Positioning System (GPS), Satellite Laser
        Ranging (SLR) and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). A
        key feature of our solution strategy is the use of space ties in
        low-Earth orbit to connect SLR to GPS. Though the resulting TRF
        solution is based on only 12.6 years of data, it is competitive
        with the international (ITRF2020) standard in terms of
        fundamental frame parameters (origin and scale) and their
        temporal evolution, both linear and seasonal. The relative rates
        of origin (3D) and scale (at Earth's surface) are 0.2 mm
        yr$^{-1}$ and 0.1 mm yr$^{-1}$ respectively. Absolute scale and
        3D origin (at epoch 2015.0) both differ by 2{\textendash}3 mm.
        In addition to station positions and velocities, our combined
        solution includes Earth orientation parameters (EOP), low-degree
        zonal coefficients (J2 and J3) of the geopotential and precise
        orbit solutions for all participating satellites (GPS, GRACE and
        GRACE Follow-on tandems, Jason 2 and 3, and LAGEOS 1 and 2). We
        discuss potential benefits of our solution strategy and
        characterize the impacts of our new TRF on estimates of
        geocenter motion and sea level change from satellite altimetry.}",
