Orbital Insurers Are Separating Custody Risk From Hardware Risk
Observation and compute claims are increasingly split between physical failure and information-handling failure.
All reporting filed under "orbital". Use this view to stay inside one editorial lane across the publication.
Observation and compute claims are increasingly split between physical failure and information-handling failure.
Brokers are packaging observation windows around weather-sensitive demand rather than around raw orbital time alone.
A routine loop replacement briefly reduced service capacity and highlighted how expensive small thermal maintenance still is in orbit.
The network has more redundancy on paper than in practice because too much emergency compute still collapses onto the same ring.
