Just to be exhaustive there's the possibility of an change or orbital plane maneuver. It was part of the effect of launching from Cape Canaveral for the Moon that on the right days no change of plane was needed.

It's usually a glossed over effect and I know of no easy databases but the planets of our solar system mostly do have different orbital planes..
