🚀 What is space insurance — and how do you insure deep‑space missions?

In this episode of The Journal Podcast, we go beyond the atmosphere to explore the fast‑evolving world of space insurance.

We're joined by Nick Oswald, Space Client Advocate at Elseco, to unpack:

- What space insurance actually covers

- Why underwriting space missions is uniquely complex

- How insurers think about launch vs in‑orbit risk

- What missions like NASA’s Artemis II would mean from an insurance perspective

- Emerging risks shaping the next decade of the space sector

From satellites and space debris to crewed deep‑space exploration, this episode explores one of the most technical — and exciting — frontiers in insurance today.
