INNOVATION
colleagues have big dreams for the structure, which will enable new innovations in physics, biology, and other sciences that thrive in microgravity. They want this next-generation orbital platform to be useful and com- fortable—one step closer to our science fiction dreams. Axiom Station is the greatest engineering challenge of Mot- ter’s career. Gravity never takes a day off, and space is unforgiv- ing. A million things have to go right—every single day—and one bad event can spell disas- ter. The station will be home to
astronauts performing exten- sive research missions. It has to be both safe and sustainable. To get there, Axiom Space needs a host of innovations and trusted partners to miti- gate risk. Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA) and its parent company, Marsh, specifically the Aerospace team, have pro- vided a safety net to help Axiom Space and its colleagues man- age the risks associated with launches, landings, business operations, and the vastness of space. Marsh and MMA’s ability to support the space industry,
and navigate its many complex- ities, has given Axiom Space extra room to innovate. “Axiom is a business of ‘firsts,’” says George Phillips, a senior vice president at MMA’s Rich- mond, Virginia office. “We are consistently thinking outside of the box as we design coverage to protect their balance sheet. Axiom Space is truly an inno- vative and groundbreaking company. We’ve been pleased to partner with them to develop new insurance solutions for all of their missions and services.”
