When a satellite is dispensed from a mothership like the ISS, the orbit cant really go too far away due to the nature of orbital mechanics. The iss and the cubesat orbits will have to intersect at least twice. Is there a more precise modeling of this?

ok. I'll try the ISS predictions, then. I wasn't able to find anything in space track. Of course, I might have been doing something wrong with my searches.

Regular ISS predictions will be pretty accurate for several days. They were released by hand so the delta-V imparted will be pretty low.
