Insurance and Level of Safety for Commercial Viability
Space insurance is important to the success rate of space transportation missions for end users, satellite operators, e.g. According to current architecture of expendable rockets it translates mostly in reliability figures. Safety level of both the vehicle and design and mission may heavily impact space insurance fundamentals, mission success probability, liability risk, and insurance prices. The purpose of this session is to detail the relationship between safety matters and the space insurance business at large. Papers are welcome from insurers, vehicle manufacturers and operators, spaceport operators, and investors.
