They're in a super tight orbits arond a very small star and they're in all likelyhood all tidally locked.

To dodge the tidal stress factor I would have them in the same orbit. To dodge the landing problem the world could use the pilot-boat and specialized pilot approch,or build a station in say Traveller standard orbit 1 and ship dock here and people and cargo are trans-ships on local ships owith local pilots.
