Unlike Otherday, Bandersnatch will be getting into that exclusive club.

But like Otherday, Friday also wants to get into an exclusive club. Their password is handled a bit differently. They say that anyone can come in so long as they take these letters:

IOWNYDCERPEROESL

And rearrange them so that they spell precisely one word. Once you have figured that out, write it on a piece of paper and hand it to the doorman. If correct, you will be allowed in.

Friday has been racking its brain for days with no luck. It figured it was English, but it's not so sure now...

Zillatain: Is the doorman's alphabet soup perhaps missing a letter L? If it is, then I can indeed make precisely one word.

Izzy appears to still subscribe to her family's motto of running away.

Run away, or run towards?

*rechecks the 20th* I didn't even see the satellites the first time.

That's annoying. It is missing the L. *checks things* It was on the end of the scramble and missed being copied over to here. Fixed now.

Yeah, if Schlock has any idea where they are, they'd be sitting targets there

Now this one is easy. Of course it helps that I didn't show up until the L was added...

Still haven't figured out Wednesday's dilemma (as I would have answered as Wednesday did...)

I will say that how Bandersnatch answered it, does give a clue.

I hadn't even seen his answer... seeing it makes things pretty simple, I'd say.
And also kind of gets you thinking along the right lines for this puzzle. I was wondering how Bandersnatch could have solved a one-word anagram with one unknown letter missing, but once you see the answer it makes a lot more sense.

The astronauts in front make the scale of the station confusing - it makes it look like the 'tube' part of each ring has a diameter less than two humans tall. So I assumed it was too small to be a satellite factory, based on how large I assume flux satellites are (they're a bit smaller than I thought - we can get a size by comparison with FIDO) and the fact that I thought anything that size would be very obvious in comparison to Schlock's satellite.

But if it's meant to be on the same scale as the similar Exosis, which would make more sense gravity-wise as people have extensively pointed out, then that would make more sense.

It's funny how my brain works, sometimes.

I was just about to give up, when 'wham!' it came to me (thanks to the Bandersnatch clue and following comments!)

Pretty clever.
