For example, crops of sweet potatoes exceeded original Mars base prototype projections by an average of 46% (53% for best crop) ultradwarf (Apogee) wheat by 9%23%3% for best crop), pinto bean by 13% (31% for best crop).
An orbit with a perigee of 700 km and an apogee of 32,000 km gives access a relativistic time delay of 150 fs, which is both large enough to be resolved by the detectors and still gives a reasonable count rate at the apogee.
The first burn began at 00 32 28 GMT, and lasted 21.5 minutes, leaving Mir in an orbit with a perigee of 188 km and an apogee of 219 km.
It had a perigee of 825 km, an apogee of 906 km and orbit inclination of 81.2°.
There was a muted "whruuuum" as the engine approached an apogee of 1,500 newton-metres (1,106lb-ft 1,106lb-ft, and the bucofic Napa Valley became a rushing torque.
Its orbit had a perigee of 245 km (152 miles) and an apogee of 378 km (235 miles).
Yet we seem to have reached an apogee of separation since then.
In the postwar era, America's embassy buildings achieved an apogee of architectural transparency.
But their elegant restaurant and simple, solid dishes, strike me as something like an apogee of that revival.
