With the increasing complexity of space missions, the accuracy and efficiency of orbital maneuver planning have become crucial. This paper proposes an analytical derivation-based method for generating orbital maneuver solution sets to address the maneuver planning problem for spacecraft on-orbit services under J2 perturbation. By establishing an analytical relative motion model corrected for J2 perturbation, this method enables the rapid generation of maneuver solution sets that satisfy multiple constraints, providing diverse options for the initial mission planning phase. Simulation validation demonstrates that the method maintains good applicability across mission scenarios at different orbital altitudes. The generated solution sets not only enhance the flexibility of orbital maneuver planning but also provide a quantitative basis for optimizing the selection of mission timing windows, holding certain application value in scenarios such as space debris removal and on-orbit maintenance services.
