Reviewer 2 Report
This paper addresses the rotational corrections of BDS-3 autonomous orbit determination using inter-satellite ranging observations. The methods and results are quite new and interesting to the GNSS community. Therefore, I would recommend accepting for publication after conducting minor revisions. My specific comments are given below:
1. As far as I know, GPS also conducts some experiments on intersatellite link, and some results have been published, which should also be included in the Introduction. Furthermore, what are the current methods & work for controlling rotation errors?
2. P2 Line 74-76: the citation format can be improved.
3. P4 Line 154: what is H?
4. P9 Figure 4, top-right “EOP data” in red?? The font size is too small to see it clear. This figure needs to be replaced.
5. P14 Line 398: it shows..
6. I would recommend also including full descriptions of case 1-3 in the Figure and table captions for better understanding. It will help readers to get general ideas of the paper before reading the whole paper thoroughly.
7. In figure 9-10, the radial error for case 1 and case 3 is quite small and stable over time…What is the equation for calculating URE? As far as I know, the radial component account for the major part of the URE for MEO satellites.

Reviewer 3 Report
# General
Increase the spacing between the equations and the text. With this simple measure you can increase the overall readibility a lot.
# Specific
Line 46: Insert proper reference here.
Page 2 (Introduction): The references format is a little bit odd. Usually, only brackets [xyz] should be written, not the full list of authors:
"In addition, Wanke Liu, Fuhong Wang, Xiaoying Gong, Jinjun Zheng, Yanling hen, Yujun Du, Weixing Zhang, and others ..."
Equation (10) / (11) / (17): What is "H"?
Page 9, lines 274 - 276: Explain case 2/3, the "adoption of an algorithm...". What type of algorithm is this? Are there any references?
