  Apogee, Perigee & Period

The perigees (point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass) of the satellites range from 400km to 23,783km, with the average perigee being 3,172.2km from the Earth, while the apogees (point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass) of the satellites range from 11,600km to 47,100km, with the average apogee being 37,330.6km from the Earth. The longest period a satellite takes to orbit around the Earth is 1,419 minutes.
