Wonder why I couldn't get my asteroid miner to work, then?
You can drop the team before creating a colony on the site. Their arrival turns it into a colony.
However, so far as I'm aware, the arrival of an asteroid miner doesn't automatically create a colony. Is it possible that you sent the miner to a body that didn't have a colony on? In that case, it'd have no place to deposit the minerals it's digging up, and it wouldn't operate.
