A spaceship is in an elliptical orbit in the equatorial plane of an exoplanet. The navigator makes the following observations:

The planet's equatorial angular diameter at periapsis is 16.3060482°
The planet's equatorial angular diameter at apoapsis is 12.0634564°
The planet's polar angular diameter at periapsis is 16.2567986°
The planet's polar angular diameter at apoapsis is 12.0271323°
The sidereal period of the spaceship's orbit is 108,000 seconds.
The spaceship's altitude above surface of the exoplanet at periapsis is 52,568,218 meters.
