Space safety today encompasses situational awareness, intervention and servicing capabilities, human safety systems, and the standards and services that support them. Together, these activities form a growing space safety economy, one shaped by technological innovation, operational practice, and emerging business models.
This campaign presents a panoramic view of space safety as a field of endeavor. Through coordinated storytelling, dialogue, and educational engagement, it highlights how space safety capabilities are built, delivered, and sustained, and how they are creating new professional pathways across the space sector.
Podcast: Are We There Yet? Episode 1 – Does the Space Safety Economy Exist Yet?
Does a true Space Safety Economy already exist, or is it still emerging?
In Episode 1 of Are We There Yet?, Tamara Bond-Williams interviews Rob Scheige of WTW about space insurance, satellite insurance, orbital debris, space risk management, satellite servicing, and the economics of safer operations in orbit.
They discuss why hardware failure remains a larger insurance concern than collision risk, how insurers think about catastrophic orbital events, and what market signals would show that a scalable Space Safety Economy has arrived.
A timely conversation for leaders across the space economy, satellite industry, NewSpace, and space sustainability.
