Selbstversicherungs-Opportunitätsverlust
Definition
Search results confirm: Beyond Australian legal third-party liability insurance, 'many companies operating in space are not insured for their in-orbit activities due to the high cost.' When satellites fail or underperform in-orbit (mission loss, reduced payload capacity, shortened lifespan), uninsured operators absorb 100% of losses. This is invisible revenue leakage—no insurance claim filed, no budget allocated.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Conservative: AUD 5-50 million annually across Australian operators (estimated 8-12 active satellite missions × AUD 500K-5M uninsured per-satellite risk)
- Frequency: Per satellite mission lifecycle (5-15 years); losses realized only upon in-orbit failure
- Root Cause: Lack of cost transparency in insurance procurement; no group purchasing power; brokers do not proactively model self-insure risk vs. premium cost
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Australian satellite operators and mission teams lose AUD 5-50 million in uninsured in-orbit losses annually. Transparent insurance cost modeling and group procurement pools reduce per-unit costs by 20-30%, enabling full coverage.
