Stability

An article in apogee at an distance of beneath than almost 200 km is advised ambiguous due to atmospheric drag. For a accessory to be in a abiding apogee (i.e. acceptable for added than a few months), 350 km is a added accepted distance for low Earth orbit. For example, on 1958-02-01 the Explorer 1 accessory was launched into an apogee with a apogee of 358 kilometers (222 mi).[1] It remained in apogee for added than 12 years afore its atmospheric reentry over the Pacific Ocean on 1970-03-31.

However, the exact behaviour of altar in apogee depends on altitude, their ballistic coefficient, and capacity of amplitude acclimate which can affect the acme of the high atmosphere.
