if you're out in space, in orbit, with relative velocities and separation distances quite small, wouldn'tt a basic, non-orbiting estimation be more than adequate, meaing throw wrench in the direction she is moving wrt the ship? It's a good assumption that she wasn't hurled off the ship, she just accidentally detached somehow. It might not be best to use the CG of the ship, but the center of the angular extent from her viewpoint.
