1. Perilune and Apolune are also used

2. Perilune is an antonym of Apolune

3. Our current orbital parameters read Apolune, 67 - correction - 64.7 nautical miles [119.8 km]; perilune, 54.8 nautical miles [101.5 km].

4. As nouns the difference between perilune and Apolune is that perilune is (astronomy) the point of an elliptical lunar orbit where the distance between the satellite and the moon is at its minimum while Apolune is (astronomy) the point of an elliptical lunar orbit where the distance between the satellite and the moon is at its maximum.

5. "Period: May 2009* operation: elliptical orbit, 20 km (perilune) at south pole and 100 km (Apolune) at north pole* mission: same as phase 2."

6. Period: May 2009* operation: elliptical orbit, 20 km (perilune) at south pole and 100 km (Apolune) at north pole* mission: same as phase 2.Spaceports

7. While the exact orbit determination will take a couple of hours, the ISRO release gave the nominal orbit parameters as 504 km perilune (the nearest point from the Moon's surface) and 7502 km Apolune (the farthest point).

8. Definition of Apolune : the point in the path of a body orbiting the moon that is farthest from the center of the moon — compare perilune First Known Use of Apolune 1960, in the meaning defined …

9. Apolune: 1 n apoapsis in orbit around the moon Synonyms: aposelene Antonyms: perilune , periselene periapsis in orbit around the moon Type of: apoapsis , point of apoapsis (astronomy) the point in an orbit farthest from the body being orbited

10. JAXA’s Kaguya mission was successfully launched to the Moon on September 14, 2007 reaching its nominal 100 km circular orbit on October 19 after releasing two subsatellites Okina and Ouna in elliptical orbits with perilunes of 100 km and Apolunes of 2400 and 800 km respectively.

11. The altitude at apoapsis (point farthest from the center of attraction) for a lunar orbit is known as Apolune, apocynthion, or aposelene, while the periapsis (point closest to the center of attraction) is known as perilune, pericynthion, or periselene, from names or epithets of the moon goddess.
