31. Therefore, the Moon takes a little longer to return to perigee than to return to the same star. 32. A strain gauge in the antenna canister would measure differences in atmospheric drag between the perigee and the apogee. 33. The object made four Earth orbits of about three months each before being ejected after the June 2007 perigee . 34. :The apogee and perigee for 5 station articles are combined into a single edit to the ISSIB template. 35. :The TLE's as well as the apogee and perigee data all come from the single edit. 36. Around 3 a . m ., the moon reaches perigee , coming within 221, 662 miles of Earth. 37. The solstice, the full moon, and the lunar perigee all occur within a few hours of each other. 38. A special case of high Earth orbit is the highly elliptical orbit, where altitude at perigee is less than. 39. This orbit also allows us to study the boundary region of the magnetosphere as it skims the magnetopause at perigees . 40. Subsequent perigee -up operation moved its orbit to apogee 32110 km, perigee 460 km of 565 minutes period.
