Jim Kramer, ILS Vice President, Engineering and Mission Assurance, was in Moscow for the Russian Association of Aviation and Space Insurers (RAASI) international conference which was held on February 21. RAASI was founded by insurance companies in July 1996.

Lack of information has been historically a major problem for space underwriters interested in Russian risks. RAASI strives to resolve this problem by providing a venue for the representatives of key Russian space manufacturers and operators to meet insurers and brokers.
