The Unsinkable Satellite: Tales of Survival When the Rocket Goes Boom

Exploring the engineering miracles of spacecraft that survived launch failures, the new risks of re-entry, and why financial resilience is just as crucial as structural integrity. By Meidad Pariente, ORBITInsure Co-Founder and Chief Space Officer There is no sound in engineering quite as deafening as the silence in a control room immediately following a launch anomaly.

How a Space weather event almost took down an Airbus A320, and why parametric Space-Related risk insurance just became Mission-Critical

Image Credit: ORBITInsure.space Published by ORBITInsure™, Space-Related Risk Intelligence for the Real World When a JetBlue Airbus A320 suddenly pitched down mid-flight a month ago, injuring passengers and triggering a global recall of nearly 6,000 aircraft, the world got a harsh message: space weather is not affecting spacecraft only. It’s a systemic operational risk down on earth. According to technical findings, a burst of solar energetic particles (SEPs) flipped a s

PSLV Failure Patterns: Analyzing the Correlation with Indian Primary Payloads

By Meidad Pariente, ORBITInsure Co-Founder and CSO The Indian Space Research Organization's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), performing with an impressive 95% success rate, is globally esteemed for its reliable record and versatility in deploying a range of satellites. Yet, upon examining the launch anomaly history, a striking correlation surfaces. ALL PSLV performance-related failures and partial failures have occurred on flights with Indian primary payloads, never o
