A syzygy sometimes results in an occultation, transit, or an eclipse. An occultation occurs when an apparently larger body passes in front of an apparently smaller one.; A transit occurs when a smaller body passes in front of a larger one.
For a typical GTO with a semi-major axis of 24,582 km, perigee velocity is 9.88 km/s and apogee velocity is 1.64 km/s, clearly making the inclination change far less costly at apogee. In practice, the inclination change is combined with the orbital circularization (or " apogee kick ") burn to reduce the total Δ V {\displaystyle \Delta V} for ...

r a is the radius at apoapsis (also "apofocus", "aphelion", "apogee"), i.e., the farthest distance of the orbit to the center of mass of the system, which is a focus of the ellipse. r p is the radius at periapsis (or "perifocus" etc.), the closest distance.
