Abstract
The new Venezuelan national geodetic network (Red Geodésica Venezolana, REGVEN) was observed nearly simultaneously with the GPS campaign for the establishment of a geocentric reference system for South America, Sistema de Referencia Geocéntrico para América del Sur (SIRGAS). This paper describes the REGVEN data, its processing and the connection to the SIRGAS reference frame. The accuracy of the geocentric station coordinates is in the order of ±2 cm.
