Combined Flight (or CF) cover combines a Launch Vehicle Flight Only (LVFO) policy with an In-Orbit (IO) policy to provide a seamless policy which covers a satellite for launch and one-year post separation. Subsequent IO covers are placed on an annually renewing basis.
Our product suite is constantly evolving to reflect the changing dynamics of the space market. As new boutique manufacturers enter the arena, the sector expands with the development of smallsat technologies, new payloads and smaller launch vehicles, our combined coverage options expand to encompass the unique risk parameters these applications generate.
