Abstract
An orbit model for Chang'E-4 relay satellite is established which is supposed to be used in a simulation of space low-frequency radio interferometry. Based on classic Lagrange libration point L2 Halo orbit, some parameters are calibrated and modified by the theoretical orbit of Chang'E-4 relay satellite, converting theoretical orbit to a rotation orbit in the vicinity of L2 point through time and coordinate reference transferring. Comparisons between the Halo orbit model and the theoretical orbit model are carried out, according to which, their baselines to lunar-surface facility are calculated respectively and analyzed. In the analysis, differences between the baselines are below 60 km, which satisfy the needs of interferometry fringe searching in the HF band.
