The article touches upon the problem of safety measures for the orbital rendezvous ma-
neuver with regard to the spacecraft deviation from the dangerous approach to the lumps
of space debris. The distinctive feature is an inability to perform an additional deviation
maneuver at the phasing stage. We suggest a technique for changing the four-impulse
rendezvous maneuver on the near-circular orbits, which allows avoiding the collision on
the phasing orbit without extra power consumption. The technique is based on the geo-
metrical representation of the maneuver in the plane of the eccentricity vector projection
and involves changing the maneuver performance with account of the forbidden region.
We present an algorithm for searching this region. The article analyses the dependence
of the forbidden region shape, dimensions and location on the dangerous approach mag-
nitude.
