"The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin.
Brilliant story from the golden age of sci fi.
According to Wikipedia:
"...first published in Astounding Magazine in 1954. In 1970, the Science Fiction Writers of America selected it as one of the best science fiction short stories published before 1965, and it was therefore included in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964."
