Paper presents analytic-computational method, utilizing dynamic programming techniques, designed to minimize cost of supplying extraterrestrial base; minimization is accomplished by selection and scheduling of supply vehicles; criterion of optimality was chosen to minimize expected cost to account for probabilistic nature of problem implied by vehicle reliabilities of less than one; illustrative results from study of small space station logistics conducted by described method are given.
