  I'm certain I've identified the work based on the sufficiently distinctive details that the original poster provided, yet people are still voting to close the question without giving the reasons for their votes. That's frustrating, to say the least.

  @Gaultheria in all fairness when you're presented with just the one-liner in First Posts review, and not shown any answers, that does look too broad (hence my comment and my vote, but I'm only speaking for myself, not for others)

Galactic Startup (2018), by Brian Whiting

In Galactic Startup, the opening novel in a series of the same name, a group of young adult friends promote their new spaceflight company and test their invention of an antigravity drive by flying a shipping container to the International Space Station.

Alex and his three friends drop out of college after discovering a revolutionary way to travel into space using a small amount of energy. Their world-changing technology is sought by the government, and they are forced to go into hiding while they perfect it. Their adventures into orbit and beyond become a global sensation. As they navigate fame, family and those who are determined to stop them, little do they know that their little startup could have galactic consequences once they discover a derelict spaceship.

— Goodreads: Galactic Startup

As of 2019, there are 3 novels in the Galactic Startup series:

1. 
   Galactic Startup (2018)


2. 
   Neighbors (2018)


3. 
   Shadows (2019)

  From a following review: "...you might need either a good air supply or heat in your converted shipping container. They don't question the wisdom of doing a drive by of the ISS..." so this does sound like an excellent match.
