Boundary
Disaster
Novelette.
Sue Fisher tried to force herself to stay awake. Three more hours of this. If only something would happen!
But nothing ever happened in Orado Port Control. Once in a great while a starship would arrive — an event scheduled usually years in advance — or somewhat more frequently one of the inter—system shuttles or the few private vessels would want to dock. Mostly, though, it was just the automated manufacturing pods, bringing raw materials from the asteroid mining operations to be sent down the beanstalk to the ground, or collecting manufactured cargo or key materials from the ground and distributing them around the system.

Very nice addition to flesh out the Castaway series.
Give some answers for the obvious questions after book 1 or 2 of the series -- WHY!?
Gave (to me) reasonable scientific explanations of a fictional space drive failure without feeling info dumpy and we were able to see some of Whips' pod -- particularly his father.
Recommended.

Oooh, neat!
This should REALLY be listed as a 'Boundary-verse' book, as it sheds light on events of Castaway Planet. Good story.
