Setting up Orbits with a defined argument of periapsis by doing a rendezvous with a ghost. The idea: the contracts for setting up specific orbits always say: "argument of periapsis: undefined" and i don't like that. Sometimes (especially when setting up a relay-network) you don't just want your satelite to be somwhere on a specific orbit, you want it to be at a specific time in a specific place on that orbit, eg. to fill the gap in a perfect triangle. To do this, it would be helpful to use "ghost-crafts", which can be rendevoused with but only exist in the imagination of the tracking station. They don't need to be launched, they don't leave any debris, they are just place-holders for where (and when) we want to have our crafts. What do you think? Good idea?
