Risk Infrastructure for the
Space Economy
From the factory floor to orbit, Orbital Assurance helps understand, mitigate, and transfer the risks behind the commercial space economy.
Space risk begins long before space — accumulated value sits in clean rooms, test chambers, and transport containers years before ignition.

Insurance should understand the entire mission,
not just the launch.
Orbital Assurance approaches risk as a continuous system.
The risk changes.
The financial exposure remains.
Probability × Severity = Expected Loss
The simplest equation in risk, and the one that governs whether a mission is insurable, at what cost, and on what terms.
The job of risk mitigation is to move the probability.
- →Testing can move it.
- →Redundancy can move it.
- →Better information can move it.
- →Debris protection can move it.
- →Operational intelligence can move it.
- →Verification can move it.
Severity is largely fixed by the physics and the balance sheet. Probability is where engineering, data, and capital actually meet.
A closed loop between underwriting and technology
Insurance gives us a view into where risk exists. Investment gives us exposure to the technologies changing it.
Risk types evolve. The exposure never disappears.
How categories of insurable risk shift as a spacecraft moves from the clean room to disposal.
Orbital Assurance is a brokerage. Capacity is placed and structured with insurers, reinsurers, Lloyd's syndicates, specialty markets, and other providers of risk capital.

The long-term opportunity is to build modern risk infrastructure for the commercial space economy — sitting at the intersection of engineering reality and risk capital.
- 01Space risk begins on Earth.
- 02A spacecraft accumulates enormous financial exposure before launch.
- 03Launch is only one component of mission risk.
- 04Orbital debris and other emerging risks require better measurement.
- 05Better technology can reduce expected losses.
- 06Better testing and verification can reduce uncertainty.
- 07Insurance converts technical risk into financial risk.
