Story Identification: Novel/Short Story set in space with a mesh-like satellite

I remember reading this at my local library whilst I waited for my brother. I think it was in a book with a few other short stories.



What I can remember:



  • Some sort of mesh/net/grid shaped satellite orbiting earth, and it was malfunctioning. I'm pretty sure it was a communication satellite of some form.

  • It has two protagonists in their teens. I don't know how or why they were in space, but they were.
    • They fix the satellite against some guy's orders to stay away from it.

    • I think they 'live' in space, i.e. they haven't come for a trip from Earth, they actually live on a space station nearby the mesh (I remember this because they travel to it from wherever they are).


  • There were some bad guy(s) causing the malfunction.

It was a pretty worn book, so I'm thinking it was written earlier than the 90s (I read it in 98/99).
