Embodiments in accordance with the invention address potential co-orbital threats to a spacecraft through the use of a plurality of evasion pattern maneuvers selected to prevent a rendezvous with a potential co-orbital threat from occurring within a finite horizon. Embodiments in accordance with the invention maintain separation from the potential co-orbital threat while minimizing a defending spacecraft's fuel consumption.
