What orbit do you put it in?

I realize space is a pretty big place. But don't all the orbiters have to eventually get into the same orbit/position before they prepare for reentry? Maybe the lifeboat could be moved around by remote control if needed to adjust its orbit. If nothing else, maybe the shuttle could meet it half way.

Sorry, I don't want to start making crazy suggestions that aren't practical. I'm just thinking out loud. Tell me if I'm off base.
