It is the point in the orbit of the moon or of an artificial satellite most distant from the center. So when the moon is at it's farthest point from the Earth, that is it's apogee. The closest point, by the way, is called the perigee.
The highest point a rocket reaches during its flight is typically the apogee, which is the point of maximum altitude. This is the point where the rocket reaches its peak altitude before descending back to Earth.

Synonyms for apogee would include, but are not limited to; peak, climax, crest, and summit.
The farthest point in the Moon's orbit around Earth is called the apogee. At apogee, the Moon is approximately 405,500 kilometers (251,966 miles) away from Earth.
The highest point in an orbit is called the apogee. It is the point where the spacecraft is farthest from the body it is orbiting.
The highest point a rocket reaches during its flight is typically the apogee, which is the point of maximum altitude. This is the point where the rocket reaches its peak altitude before descending back to Earth.
When model rockets get to the apogee of flight they separate or eject the nose cone to release the parachute that will let the rocket down without breaking it.When model rockets get to the apogee of flight they separate or eject the nose cone to release the parachute that will let the rocket down without breaking it.
If you are regarding the flight of the rocket itself, one can record: 1) Maximum Altitude (apogee) 2) Speed 3) Flight time 4) Time to Apogee 5) Acceleration There are plenty of electronic modules that can record all of this and more that are small enough to fit in a 1" Diameter bodytube.

Apogee Rockets, Estes Rockets, Discount Rocketry, Rocket Fun, and Red Arrow Hobbies are just a few of the stores that sell model rockets and model rocket supplies.
