Climax; point of orbit (6)

I believe the answer is:

apogee

(Other definitions for apogee that I've seen before include "Culmination, climax" , "Final climactic stage" , "Point at which a satellite is furthest from the Earth" , "Pinnacle, highest point" , "highest height" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
