I wonder what the insurance policy on starlink satellites looks like.

  Hint: not cheap.

  Looks like it’s not unique case at least. The space infrastructure insurance has history of decades: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_insurance https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_insurance

  They already lost a few dozen satellites in a previous incident in february 2022. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2022SW003193 https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/202...

    I doubt they'd insure them for this kind of mishap. They'll just launch new ones. They probably do have third party insurance though for debris hitting earth I guess.
