Space insurance is the financial protection and risk-sharing regime that protects those involved in space activity from loss of assets, business interruption, and third-party liability for bodily injury and property damage. The first space insurance policy was written in 1965, to protect COMSAT, the US signatory to INTELSAT, from liability arising from their involvement in deployment of the earliest INTELSAT satellites. Since then, space insurance has expanded to become a critical resource that enables innovation and investment in space activity, as well as unlocking the economic potential and providing an economic safety net for the risks associated with space activity.
