Practitioner and industry seminar - Risks in space activity - 27 October 2011

20 Oct 2011

Space projects can be more susceptible to some risks than terrestrial equivalents, and their impact on the business can differ. In addition, there are certain risks specific to space commerce. These result from their longer-term nature and the fact that they are conducted in outer space. For example, commercial risks associated with the choice of technology can have a greater impact in space where the technology cannot be readily changed after launch.

Date: 27 October 2011
Time: 9am TO 12.30pm
Venue: Charles Clore House, 17 Russell Square, London, WC1B 5DR.
