Differential phase delay data accurately reflect relative position of two spacecrafts, which can be used to improve absolute and relative orbit determination precision. In this paper, the basic principle of the same-beam VLBI technique and its applications in orbit determination of deep spacecrafts are summarized. For example, using the same-beam VLBI technique, the relative positioning accuracy of ChangE-3 rover is up to 1m, the orbit determination precision should be up to 10m for ChangE-5 returner and orbiter, and the accuracy of orbit determination of a Mars orbiter and a rover position can be up to several hundred meters.
