The point in an objects orbit where the object is furthest from the surface of the earth.
The point in the orbit of an Earth bound satellite where it is the farthest from the Earth.
Similar to aphelion The point in an orbit when a body orbiting the Earth, (eg Moon or artificial satellite.) is farthest from the Earth (opposite of perigee).
The point in a satellites orbit when it is farthest from the Earth
The point where an object on an elliptical orbital path is farthest from the point in which that object orbits about.
Maximum altitude of a rocket above a reference plane, typically mean sea level.
The point in the orbit of the Moon or man-made satellite farthest from the Earth. The point in the orbit of a satellite farthest from its companion body.
The point on the orbit of the moon (or any other earth satellite) that is farthest from the earth. Opposite of perigee.
The point in a planet's orbit that is most distant from Earth.
That point in an orbit at which the moon or an artificial satellite is most distant from the Earth.
The place in a planet's orbit which is farthest from the Earth. See Perigee.
For an object orbiting the Earth, the point in orbit which is farthest from the Earth.
The highest point in the satellite's orbit (km); the point in the orbit of a satellite where it is farthest from the object about which it revolves.
The furthest point of the moon's orbit to the earth. Opposite of perigee.
Orbital point of greatest distance from the earth
The point farthest from the earth on the moon's orbit. This term can be applied to any other body orbiting the earth, such as satellites. It is the opposite of perigee.
The highest point in the satellite's orbit. See perigee.
The point in a body's orbit (e.g. the Moon's) around Earth where the orbiting body is the farthest from the Earth.
The farthest point from the center of the orbit in an elliptical orbit.
The point in an elliptical satellite orbit which is farthest from the surface of the earth. Geosynchronous satellites which maintain circular orbits around the earth are first launched into highly elliptical orbits with apogees of 22,237 miles. When the communication satellite reaches the appropriate apogee, a rocket motor is fired to place the satellite into its permanent circular orbit of 22,237 miles.
It is the point of a satellite’s orbit farthest from the Earth. - The moon’s apogee is about 400,000 kilometers away.

The point in the Moon's orbit that is farthest from the Earth.
The highest altitude a rocket achieves before beginning its descent.
The point at which a body around the Earth reaches its farthest distance from the Earth. It is the opposite to perigee.
The highest point of travel in flight or an orbit
The point on a satellite's elliptical orbit farthest from the earth. The apogee altitude ha of a satellite's orbit is equal to the distance from the center of the earth to apogee, ra, minus the mean equatorial radius of the earth, RE= 3443.92 nmi= 6378.145 km. Further, it should be noted that the sum of the apogee and perigee distances of an orbit are equal to twice its semi-major axis . That is, ra + rp.
