Imagine a day without space – no GPS, no weather forecasts, no satellite communications, no Earth observation, no accurate timestamps for the finance industry, no space-based research, and no spaceflight. The impact would be felt across the globe, from our daily lives to the global economy. Walther Pelzer, Head of the German Space Agency DLR sais that “Satellites have long been an integral part of our lives”.
As the world becomes more aware of the importance of sustainable development and environmental protection, the role of satellites in helping to achieve these goals has become increasingly crucial. Satellites provide valuable information about the health of our planet and are vital tools for monitoring the environment.
However, with the increasing importance of space in our lives comes new risks and challenges. Space debris, solar and magnetic storms, and space militarisation are just a few of the emerging risks that could have catastrophic consequences for the space industry and the global economy. Space insurance is the financial protection instrument that supports and enables the industry to continue to innovate and explore new frontiers while holding and managing the inherent risks of space activities. Insurance solutions are essential to support pioneering space companies and give them the opportunity to bounce back in the event of loss.
