Analogous expressions denoting the relations of the Projectile towards the Moon, would be _periselene_ and _aposelene_. ❋ Jules Verne (1866)
Projectile's velocity would have reached its minimum; at the _periselene_, its maximum. ❋ Jules Verne (1866)
The nearest point of the orbit to the Moon (periselene) was reduced from 200 km to 182 km and finally to 100 km. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The nearest point of this orbit (periselene) lies at a distance of about 500 km from the moon's surface while the farthest point (aposelene) lies at about 7,500 km. ❋ Unknown (2008)
On November 9, ISRO gave commands to the LAM to fire to reduce Chandrayaan-1's periselene from 504 km to 200 km. ❋ Unknown (2008)
"The spacecraft is at 187 km from the moon (periselene) and 255 km away (aposelene), orbiting elliptically once in every 2 hours and 16 minutes over the polar regions of the lunar planet," Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) director S. ❋ Unknown (2008)

After the lunar orbit insertion manoeuvre was done and Chandrayaan-1 achieved an aposelene of 7,502 km and a periselene of 504 km, ISRO executed a series of manoeuvres to reduce the spacecraft's orbit and bring it closer to the moon. ❋ Unknown (2008)

On Saturday (November 8), ISRO accomplished with aplomb the most crucial and critical manoeuvre of safely inserting Chandrayaan-1 into the lunar orbit with an aposelene of 7,502 km and a periselene of 504 km. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It may be recalled that the lunar orbit insertion manoeuvre of Chandrayaan-1 was successfully performed on November 8, 2008 and the spacecraft entered into an orbit around the moon with a periselene of 504 km and an aposelene of 7,502 km. ❋ Unknown (2008)
