Marsh McLennan targets insurance for space-based data centers
Marsh McLennan is exploring a new niche in space-based data centers as companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin look to move computing into orbit. Because these facilities face unique risks from radiation and space debris, they require specialized insurance coverage that few firms have the data to price. This move fits the company's role as a risk advisor for complex, global industries. While orbital computing is still in its early stages, being the first to set the standards for these policies could help the firm capture a new source of fees as the space economy grows.
