I’m guessing that the “perigee” value is the distance from Earth’s center of gravity.

Since it’s a Trans-Lunar object, I bet the perigee distance is from the Earth-Moon barycenter.

I’m guessing that the “perigee†value is the distance from Earth’s center of gravity. Not likely, since that would put it INSIDE the Earth's radius of 6,371 km. It's gotta be perigee above the surface.
