     abstract = "{Joint orbit determination (JOD) of Global Navigation Satellite Systems
        (GNSS) satellites and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites has been
        substantiated as an efficacious approach to compensate for the
        ground station geometry. In the traditional JOD, the precise
        orbit determination (POD) of LEO satellite is mainly processed
        by the reduced-dynamic approach, however, this approach involves
        complex calculations and the credibility of the determined
        positions diminishes when LEO satellites undergo orbital
        maneuvers. Therefore, a simplified JOD method is designed that
        employs kinematic approach to determine the LEO satellites
        orbit. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the
        orbit of GPS satellites and LEO satellites are jointly estimated
        utilizing the regional and global networks. 8 LEO satellites,
        including GRACE-C/D, SWARM-A/B/C, SENTINEL-3A/B, and JASON-3,
        are chosen for JOD. The comparative analysis between the
        proposed method and traditional method are achieved in terms of
        GPS orbit accuracy, LEO orbit accuracy, computation time and the
        JOD performance during LEO maneuvers. Under regional station
        scenario, the GPS orbit accuracy determined using the proposed
        method and the traditional method is 3.64 cm and 2.52 cm,
        respectively. In the case of global station scenario, the
        accuracies are 1.71 cm and 1.64 cm. Additionally, the
        traditional method yields superior enhancement and higher
        accuracy of the LEO orbits. However, it exhibits a noticeable
        increase in computation time compared to the proposed method and
        the performance of JOD declines significantly when LEO
        satellites undergo orbital maneuvers. Alternatively, although
        the accuracy of the LEO orbits using the proposed method is
        comparatively lower, it offers a substantial reduction in the
        overall network computation time compared to traditional method.
        Moreover, the proposed method based on LEO kinematic precise
        orbit determination (KPOD) is nearly unaffected by orbital
        maneuvers of LEO satellites, presenting unique advantages in
        practical data processing.}",
