Are We There Yet? - Episode 1: Does the Space Safety Economy Exist Yet?

from SSPI · host SSPI

Does a true Space Safety Economy already exist, or is it still emerging?   In Episode 1 of Are We There Yet?, Tamara Bond-Williams interviews Rob Scheige of WTW about space insurance, satellite insurance, orbital debris, space risk management, satellite servicing, and the economics of safer operations in orbit.   They discuss why hardware failure remains a larger insurance concern than collision risk, how insurers think about catastrophic orbital events, and what market signals would show that a scalable Space Safety Economy has arrived.    A timely conversation for leaders across the space economy, satellite industry, NewSpace, and space sustainability.   Sponsored by the American Space Exploration Children's Trust Fund.
