Length of Radius Vectors at Apogee Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Apogee Radius = Major Orbital Axis*(1+Eccentricity)
r_apogee = a_orbit*(1+e)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Apogee Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Apogee Radius represents the maximum distance between an orbiting body and the object it orbits.
Major Orbital Axis - (Measured in Meter) - Major Orbital Axis is the sum of perihelion and the aphelion of the orbit gives the value of the major axis as the sum defines the largest diameter.
Eccentricity - Eccentricity refers to a characteristic of the orbit followed by a satellite around its primary body, typically the Earth.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Major Orbital Axis: 7900 Kilometer --> 7900000 Meter (Check conversion here)
Eccentricity: 0.12 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

r_apogee = a_orbit*(1+e) --> 7900000*(1+0.12)

Evaluating ... ...

r_apogee = 8848000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8848000 Meter -->8848 Kilometer (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

8848 Kilometer <-- Apogee Radius

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

How do you calculate apogee distance?

The apogee as the opposite point along the semi-major axis. We define the distance from F1 to F2 as 2c. We define the eccentricity, e, of the ellipse as e = c/a. For an ellipse, e < 1.
