About
About Inversion Space
Inversion develops autonomous re-entry vehicles for rapid deployment from orbit. Arc is designed as a reusable space-based delivery vehicle capable of carrying payloads through atmospheric re-entry and landing them precisely at a selected location, with the company targeting delivery anywhere on Earth in under an hour.
Ray, its first in-house spacecraft and re-entry capsule, was placed in orbit to validate guidance, thermal, communications and recovery systems for later vehicles. Inversion is applying the architecture to military logistics, scalable hypersonic testing and space-based interceptor programmes, including work with Anduril, while retaining longer-term dual-use cargo applications.
