- "longitude of
periapsis" or "longitude of periastron" are
often used
synonymously with "argument of
periapsis". In
astrodynamics the
argument of
periapsis ω can...
-
primary body to the
orbiting body when the
latter is located: 1) at the
periapsis point, or 2) at the
apoapsis point (compare both graphics,
second figure)...
- the
longitude of
periapsis (e.g., mean
longitude and true longitude) will also be compound. Sometimes, the term
longitude of
periapsis is used to refer...
- : 25, 62–63 For
elliptical orbits it can also be
calculated from the
periapsis and
apoapsis since r p = a ( 1 − e ) {\displaystyle r_{\text{p}}=a\,(1-e)}...
-
flying the
vehicle through the
atmosphere at the low
point of the
orbit (
periapsis). The
resulting drag
slows the spacecraft.
Aerobraking is used when a...
- If an
impulsive burn of Δv is
performed at
periapsis in a
parabolic orbit, then the
velocity at
periapsis before the burn is
equal to the
escape velocity...
- body will be at
periapsis. If this is less than planet's
radius an
impact should be expected. The
distance of
closest approach, or
periapsis distance, is...
-
between the
apoapsis and
periapsis. The
portion of the semi-major axis
extending from the
primary at one
focus to the
periapsis is
shown as a
purple line...
- orbit's true anomaly, ϖ ≡ ω + Ω is the
longitude of orbit's
periapsis, ω is the
argument of
periapsis, and Ω is the
longitude of the orbit's
ascending node...

Venus and Neptune. As two
objects orbit each other, the
periapsis is that

which the two
objects are
closest to each
other and the...
