The Apollo 9 Earth orbit mission was launched into the nominal orbit consistent with Apollo 11, but the spacecraft were able to use their own engines to raise the perigee high enough to sustain the 10-day mission. Skylab was launched into a quite different orbit, with a 270-mile (434 km) perigee which sustained it for six years, and also a ...
