Cool how the other SRB remains in the view of the camera for so long.

Here's a question for the orbital mechanics gurus. Atlantis is currently in an elliptical orbit, well they all are I suppose but this one has a significant difference between perigee and apogee. What is happening to the position of perigee projected along the r bar to the earth's surface?
It is moving up and down (in the order of about 10 km, if I have it right). The position of the perigee is also rotating relative to an inertial reference frame, anti-clockwise when viewed from the north pole of the orbit.
