Thanks for your help. In the end I decided to just leave it there and redo the research. Getting out and pushing was way too slow.

So I got a ship in career mode stuck with lots of data in orbit with an apoapsis of 250km and a low point of 95km. How can I rescue this ship and retrieve all the data on it? Would sending another ship in a circle orbit at 95km and then colliding it with my stranded ship to slow the orbit work? Would I be better off trying again to collect the data and just abandon that ship? Would the data be worth less now that that ship has it or does it not count because I haven't received the science from it yet because it hasn't been retrieved? Thanks in advance
