Apogee Heights Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Apogee Height = Apogee Radius-[Earth-R]
H_apogee = r_apogee-[Earth-R]
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Variables

Constants Used

[Earth-R] - Earth mean radius Value Taken As 6371.0088

Variables Used

Apogee Height - (Measured in Meter) - Apogee Height is the maximum height or distance above the Earth's surface that an object reaches in its orbit around the Earth.
Apogee Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Apogee Radius represents the maximum distance between an orbiting body and the object it orbits.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Apogee Radius: 8848 Kilometer --> 8848000 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_apogee = r_apogee-[Earth-R] --> 8848000-[Earth-R]

Evaluating ... ...

What is height of apogee?

A high Earth orbit (HEO) is a geocentric orbit with an altitude above that of a geosynchronous orbit. A highly elliptical orbit (HEO) is an elliptic orbit with a low-altitude (about 1,000 kilometers) perigee and a high-altitude (over 35,786 kilometers) apogee.

How to Calculate Apogee Heights?

Apogee Heights calculator uses Apogee Height = Apogee Radius-[Earth-R] to calculate the Apogee Height, Apogee Heights refers to the highest point in a satellite's elliptical orbit, where it moves slowest, facilitating efficient communication and longer visibility for ground stations during transmission. Apogee Height is denoted by H_apogee symbol.

How to calculate Apogee Heights using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Apogee Heights, enter Apogee Radius (r_apogee) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Apogee Heights calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.476991 = 8848000-[Earth-R].

FAQ

What is Apogee Heights?

Apogee Heights refers to the highest point in a satellite's elliptical orbit, where it moves slowest, facilitating efficient communication and longer visibility for ground stations during transmission and is represented as H_apogee = r_apogee-[Earth-R] or Apogee Height = Apogee Radius-[Earth-R]. Apogee Radius represents the maximum distance between an orbiting body and the object it orbits.

How to calculate Apogee Heights?

Apogee Heights refers to the highest point in a satellite's elliptical orbit, where it moves slowest, facilitating efficient communication and longer visibility for ground stations during transmission is calculated using Apogee Height = Apogee Radius-[Earth-R]. To calculate Apogee Heights, you need Apogee Radius (r_apogee). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Apogee Radius and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
