| contents | We present GASV, a novel Python-based software package specifically designed for the analysis of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data. Developed with ease of installation and user friendliness in mind, GASV supports both pipeline and interactive processing modes. The software processes VLBI baseline delays and rates in standard formats such as HOPS outputs and NGS card files to estimate key geodetic and astrometric parameters, including station coordinates, Earth Orientation Parameters, source coordinates, clock parameters, and atmospheric models. We evaluate the capabilities and performance of GASV, demonstrating that its parameter estimation accuracy for IVS INT, Regular, and CONT sessions is comparable to that achieved by the VLBI analysis centers at BKG and USNO. As a state-of-the-art tool, GASV not only enables high-quality single-session data processing but also but also supports global analyses of long-term SINEX files, generating Celestial Reference Frame and Terrestrial Reference Frame solutions with reliable accuracy. |
