Defense / space

Analyst brief

The category's sole entity, Starfish Space, is represented by one severity-4 event: an uncontrolled spin during a spacecraft docking test mission resulting in mission loss. The dominant failure mode on record is a test-mission control failure rather than an operational-asset or crewed-mission incident. With only one entity and one event, the data shows complete concentration in a single company and a single test-phase failure. The record is press-driven, based on reporting of the test mission rather than a regulatory finding.

Company risk ranking

Index 0-100: each documented incident is weighted by severity and by how well-sourced it is, discounted as it ages (half its weight every 3 years), then summed per company and scaled on a log curve so the highest-risk company worldwide is 100. Rank in industry: position among companies in the same industry that have at least one documented incident. Band groups the index: Critical (75+), High (45-74), Elevated (15-44), Low (under 15 with at least one incident); None documented means no public incident was found, which is not proof of safety.
