I suppose this image has incorrectly placed time marks. I have recently made some calculations and I think that the marks near the perigee are too close together and those at apogee vice versa. I think e.g. the mark of 2 hours should be more like 1.6 hours. The image is claimed (on the original source) as adapted from a book Fundamentals of Space Systems by Vincent L. Pisacane, 2005, while Charles D. Brown book Elements of Spacecraft Design (Fig. 3.45) is different and similar to my calculations. Could please anyone re-check that?
