The invention discloses an orbit control method based on a wheel-controlled mode. According to high-precision orbit freezing characteristics of a satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit, the control method combining a double-frequency global position system (GPS) and DORIS orbit determination, high-precision star sensitivity posture determination and high-precision wheel controlling is adopted in orbit controlling, satellite orbit control precision is improved, satellite high-precision orbit freezing tasks are achieved, and the orbit control method is a satellite orbit control method which is never adopted in the past. From 2011, the orbit control method is successfully applied to orbit controlling of a plurality of satellites in the sun-synchronous orbit, the orbit control precision reaches advanced levels in the world, and good effects are obtained.
