Following the first Polaris Dawn apogee boost, the mean elements had an apogee of 1395.6 km. The first apogee in the new orbit was at 0111:20 UTC, with an standard height of 1400.0 km (moment of maximum distance from geocenter); the max geoid height was 1408.3 km at around the same time.
This is the information I've been looking for! Thx.
At that distance, could they see the turtle that the elephants are standing on?
