The loss of the space shuttle Challenger cast doubt on many issues of Space Station support. Modeling alternatives runs into theoretical difficulties. This paper reports on a modeling approach that accounts for a fixed resupply cycle in reliability estimates for a single orbital system. The emphasis in the single-system model is on ground-based support, rather than on orbital activities and constraints. The paper also provides a scheme in outline for a multi-system model that similarly reflects Space Station restorability concepts, but accounts for cross-system competition for on-orbit resources and access to launch vehicle space.
