The operations of the International Space Station (ISS) pose many challenging issues, including logistics. The on orbit stay of the ISS is to be significantly extended in the near future: there will be an increased experimental activity in microgravity, giving rise to a renewed interest also in the related optimization aspects. A permanent logistic support is necessary to guarantee key ISS operations, as well as the scientific activities performed on-board. A traffic model, based on a mixed integer linear programming (MIP) approach, has been adopted to carry out the requested logistic planes. This chapter discusses the MIP model and provides insights concerning its application context.
