A design and layout study of a commercial, geostationary regional transportation company and related fleet of service vehicles, part of a project for modeling the operation of an infrastructure in geostationary orbit, is summarized. Considering potential customers, orbital environmental conditions and operational procedures, facility and fleet elements were characterized and defined. Based on the configuration of near-future space stations, the hardware was selected and two families of transport vehicles as well as a cluster of servicing vehicles were designed.
