RISK ASSOCIATED WITH SPACE ACTIVITY SEMINAR SERIES
SEMINAR I
PHYSICAL AND SECURITY RISK
The risk associated with commercial space activity can differ in nature or quality from those of other large-scale business ventures. Space projects can be more susceptible to some risks and their impact on the business can differ from terrestrial equivalents. In addition, there are certain risks specific to space commerce. These result from the longer-term nature of space activities and can arise because they are conducted in outer space. For example, commercial risks associated with the choice of technology, can have a greater impact in space where it cannot be readily changed once it is launched.
The understanding and ability to quantify risk is central to any commercial space venture and its funding. To foster better understanding of these risks and to encourage appropriate policy directions, the Institute is bringing together leading specialists to present a series of Seminars on space risks and their insurance. The Series will cover Commercial risk, including evaluation of market demand, technology choice, competition and timing; Financial Risk, including equity and debt mix, currency choice and pricing; Policy Risk of change in government focus and emphasis; Regulatory Risk including ITU procedures, terms and duration of frequency assignments, and ownership transfer limitations; Physical and Security Risk, covered in this first Seminar; And Insurance, including domestic implementation of international state liability, and coverage of other risks.
These Seminars aim to inform and engage those involved in space activities, policy makers and lawyers who advice them, as well as students and scholars in the field.

Delegate 50 GBP
