Advanced manufacturing & spaceE&S market

Space systems & lunar

Companies building reentry vehicles, in-space and lunar manufacturing hardware including regolith-to-brick systems, deployable space solar, and microgravity robotics.

Why it needs cover

The exposure

These are physical assets that operate in orbit, during reentry, or on the lunar surface, where a hardware or autonomy failure can't be inspected or repaired the way a ground-based failure can. No admitted market has built loss history for anything operating off-planet.

What we place

Coverages this class usually needs

Products & completed operationsRequired (contract)

Claims from the hardware's performance or failure after launchA design or manufacturing defect surfaces once the asset is operating in space or on the lunar surface

CGL with affirmative AI grantRequired (contract)

Third-party injury/property damage tied to onboard autonomyBase liability covering the autonomy layer instead of excluding it

Tech E&O / professionalOften (contract)

Design and mission-software errorsThe autonomy and control software carries its own exposure

ExcessOften (contract)

Limits above the primary programMission value and third-party launch obligations push total limits high

What it costs

National benchmark premiums

Rated on: Contract value and missions or units delivered

Full program

Quoted per program; driven by deployed fleet size, contracts, and limits.

Pricing figures are Risklytics program design targets, not published cost-guide data or quotes. Only construction & field robotics and warehouse & logistics robotics carry dollar figures, because Risklytics has built and priced real programs against them; every other class uses a qualitative pricing statement until a program is priced. Your premium depends on fleet size, contract structure, limits, deductible, and loss history.

When it goes E&S

Where this risk gets hard to place

There is no admitted class code or loss history for reentry vehicles, in-space manufacturing, or lunar hardware, so this places entirely in specialist space and E&S markets.
