Satellite inspection advances open possibilities for space rendezvous
Historical article discusses methods for inspecting satellites including slow flyby and non co planar approaches. It notes that a 15 degree turn into a new orbital plane costs 400 feet per second and reduces payload by 1500 pounds, proposing a low fuel approach as more viable.
