Morten Pahle
Managing Director
Aesir Space
Aesir Space’s insurance remit extends beyond the standard reach of most space policies, providing protection for investors, as well as encompassing launch delay, engine testing and a range of contingency-related covers.
As the space market evolves at a rapid rate in response to growing data demands placed on satellites, advances in the underlying technology and the increase in countries and companies entering the space sector, investor interest is rocketing.
At Aesir Space, we recognise the heightened risk potential of these emerging technologies, capabilities and market participants, and offer investors the necessary financial protection to support their drive to invest.
The scope of our umbrella solutions is expansive and our space risk management experience means we are able to build comprehensive programmes that span the many potential issues and incidents that may arise that could delay or prevent launch or result in a failure of an application to achieve its commercial goals.
