Kerbal Engineer Redux helps match orbital periods a lot more carefully. Then either setting the engine to 0.5% max thrust or having RCS lets you actually execute the numbers it tells you you need.
that sounds like a lot of maintenance missions and tedium. I like my solution of flooding the zone with redundant satellites that are a consistent 90% useful
in my experience you can have the orbital periods matching exactly for as many decimal points as it displays and one duna mission later it’s all fucked up no matter what
My solution is to have ~6 highly irregular orbits at different longitudes. 90% of the time they’re going to be way up at the slow useful part of their orbit.
You mean you have three satellites all holding hands together after a couple time warps

When you actually match the periods right it doesn’t need maintenance
