It should be possible to adjust planes (and thus LAN) by altering the orbital plane at an intersection point. So how do we find that?
Strategies for adjusting argument of periapsis:
Some discussion of a bi-tangential elliptical orbit here: http://clowder.net/hop/TMI/TangentEllipses.pdf
Given orbital parameters, calculate the manoeuvres required to get there.
Classical parameters:
Ideally I should be able to specify a highly elliptical orbit for one satellite, then set another satellite to an argument of periapsis 180° out, along with a mean anomaly at epoch 180° out, and have the two satellites in complementary over/under orbits to relay back to Kerbin without local planet or moon(s) getting in the way.
