Abstract
Space radio-telescope (SRT) will be launched on near Earth orbit, having perigee close to the Earth and near-apogee distance ~ 330,000 km. SRT will have an antenna with diameter 10 meters. The orbital parameters are chosen to maximize evolution of the normal to the orbit plane (?-right ascension and i-declination) using the gravitational fields of the Moon and the Sun. The name of the spacecraft is . SRT together with the stations on the Earth surface will be an interferometer with a very large base. To determine current orbital parameters of the SRT tracking stations (TS) and command stations (CS) will be used. To provide high-stability frequency generation an on-board H-maser will be installed. CS will measure range and range rate, and the TS will measure only range rate of the SRT. The laser retroreflectors which will be used for the SRT ranging will increase precision of laser measurements. This paper deals with the questions of the SRT orbit determination.

having perigee close to the Earth and near-apogee distance ~ 330,000
km. SRT will have an antenna with diameter 10 meters. The orbital
parameters are chosen to maximize evolution of the normal to the
orbit plane (?-right ascension and i-declination) using the
gravitational fields of the Moon and the Sun. The name of the
spacecraft is . SRT together with the stations on the Earth surface
will be an interferometer with a very large base. To determine
current orbital parameters of the SRT tracking stations (TS) and
command stations (CS) will be used. To provide high-stability
frequency generation an on-board H-maser will be installed. CS will
measure range and range rate, and the TS will measure only range rate
of the SRT. The laser retroreflectors which will be used for the SRT
ranging will increase precision of laser measurements. This paper
