     abstract = "{A uniformly distributed global ground network is essential for the
        accurate determination of GNSS orbit and clock parameters.
        However, achieving an ideal ground network is often difficult.
        When limited to a sparse or regional network of ground stations,
        the integration of LEO satellites can substantially enhance the
        accuracy of GNSS Precise Orbit Determination (POD). In practical
        processing, discontinuities with complicated gaps can occur in
        LEO attitude quaternions, particularly when working with a
        restricted observation network. This hampers the accuracy of
        determining GNSS/LEO integrated orbits. To address this, an
        investigation was conducted using data from seven LEO
        satellites, including those from Sentinel-3, GRACE-FO, and
        Swarm, to evaluate integrated POD performance under sparse or
        regional station conditions. Particular focus was placed on
        addressing attitude discontinuities. Four scenarios were
        analyzed, encompassing both continuous data availability and
        one-, two-, and three-hour interruptions after one hour of
        continuous data availability. The results showed that the
        proposed quaternion rotation matrix interpolation method is
        reliable for the integrated POD of GNSSs and LEOs with strict
        attitude control.}",
