Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX:SAS) has provided the market an update on its key milestones as it aims to provide communication coverage to anyone everywhere, through a low cost maintenance model using modern satellite technology.
SAS plans to launch its 200 strong nano-satellites from mid-2018.
Here is the latest from SAS:
Lead insurance broker appointed
Global leading insurance broking and risk management provider Marsh has been selected by SAS as lead insurance broker for the full constellation of up to 200 nano-satellites to be deployed by 2020.
Marsh will provide services to cover potential loss or damage to the nano-satellites including failed launch, providing protection to SAS and its shareholders.
The appointment Marsh follows on from the agreement with Brit Global Specialty as the insurance underwriter for SAS’ initial three nano-satellites in June 2016.
The significance of the insurance coverage is highlighted with yesterday’s explosion of the SpaceX satellite on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral.
