About ZL Space
Integrated Space Logistics, Insurance Brokerage and Risk Advisory
ZL Space is a specialized company operating at the intersection of space logistics, insurance brokerage, and risk advisory. We support launch companies, SpaceTech manufacturers, satellite operators, and mission stakeholders with integrated solutions that address logistics execution and insurance requirements as a single, coordinated process.
Space missions involve highly complex transport chains, strict regulatory environments, and unique risk profiles. At ZL Space, we believe that logistics and insurance cannot be treated as separate disciplines. Transport conditions, handling procedures, launch site operations, and mission timelines directly influence insurance exposure, underwriting decisions, and overall mission risk.
Our Approach
ZL Space combines hands-on space logistics forwarding with specialized insurance brokerage services for the space industry. This integrated approach allows us to design logistics processes that are aligned with insurance requirements from the earliest planning stages.
Rather than addressing insurance after logistics decisions have already been made, we structure both disciplines in parallel. This results in clearer risk profiles, fewer coverage gaps, and more efficient coordination between operators, insurers, and other stakeholders.
What We Do
ZL Space provides integrated support across the following areas:
- Space logistics and forwarding for SpaceTech and launch-related cargo
- Space cargo and transport insurance brokerage
- Launch insurance and launch risk coordination
- Satellite and payload insurance support
- Insurance-related risk assessments for space missions
- Advisory support for spaceport and launch site logistics
We act as a single point of contact for logistics and insurance coordination, reducing complexity for clients operating in high-risk and high-value environments.
Space Logistics Expertise
As a forwarding company, ZL Space manages complex logistics for space-related hardware, including:
- satellites and payloads
- launch vehicle components
- avionics, propulsion systems, and flight hardware
- sensitive, high-value, and regulated cargo
Our logistics expertise covers route planning, packaging concepts, handling procedures, regulatory interfaces, and coordination with spaceports and launch providers worldwide.
Insurance Brokerage and Risk Advisory
ZL Space is also an insurance broker specializing in space-related risks. Our brokerage activities are closely integrated with our logistics operations, ensuring that insurance coverage reflects real operational conditions rather than theoretical assumptions.
We work with specialized insurers, underwriters, and reinsurers to support coverage related to:
- launch and pre-launch risks
- space cargo and transport insurance
- satellite and payload insurance
- third-party liability
- mission-specific and human spaceflight-related risks
ZL Space does not manufacture hardware, operate launch vehicles, or underwrite insurance risk. Our role is to structure, coordinate, and align logistics and insurance interfaces on behalf of our clients.

Our integrated model offers:
- deep understanding of space logistics and transport risk
- specialized insurance brokerage focused on the space sector
- neutral, independent advisory positioning
- early-stage mission support and feasibility insight
- clear communication between technical, operational, and insurance stakeholders
