An attempt to define and analyze the concept of 'logistics of space operation centers' in an infrastructure scenario is presented. A logistics system was designed, which is strongly linked to the transportation system used. A narrow relation between operations in a space operation center and the transport model considered was established. Typical space transportation system designs were adapted and integrated in the logistics/life cycle cost model. A space operation center was conceived from general equations for calculation of module masses of rockets and from the NEPTUN booster project. A simulation model with a mass model, operation model and life cycle cost model was developed for evaluation of life cycle costs of a space operation center. Calculation results give reference costs for exploitation of orbital stations and requirements on space operation center service achievements. These results allow a relation between operations at space operation centers and transportation systems in an orbital infrastructure to be established from a logistic point of view. A sensitivity analysis shows that input parameters must be carefully chosen, because a minimal variation can very strongly modify the results.
