They are predicted to pass with 21 km of each other. Right now now, I am looking at orbits which satellite have a close mean motion, inclination, and RAAN. I then see when one will close in to the other, and pass by. For example Cosmos 2150 r 7.4 2.4 0.0 5.5 v 8.4 1 21419U 91041B 03127.68156732 +.00000260 +00000-0 +10413-3 0 05203 2 21419 074.0380 356.2402 0041312 100.9941 259.5849 14.32619733622043 Cosmos 2298 r 7.4 2.4 0.0 5.5 v 11 1 23432U 94083B 03127.71365343 +.00000066 +00000-0 +33943-4 0 08372 2 23432 074.0335 356.4375 0004898 007.3455 352.7751 14.32625999437952 These one's are predicted to pass within 29 km of each other on Nov 1 2004, at around 0:01 UT.They have a nice slow closure rate. But the predicted date is far in the future, so the date can't not be trusted.
