Hi everyone!
Your next package might not arrive horizontally, but drop from the sky. Inversion just unveiled Arc, a space-based delivery vehicle that promises to deliver cargo anywhere on Earth in under an hour.
This is interesting because it shows a future where vertical delivery is stratified by value. Drones will likely own the low-altitude, short-haul space for low-to-medium value goods. Orbital vehicles like Arc will occupy the sub-orbital layer for high-value, intercontinental delivery.
Arc is still in its early stages, but Inversion has already validated key subsystems with their previous Ray mission and is targeting the first orbital missions for 2026.
Very intriguing concept. I am wondering what challenges you faced in terms of regulations from the government or similar authorities?
a bold idea for 2026 as target. have you identified any specific payloads and target locations or its going to be general purpose?
How can you get your vehicle back from the North Pole?
Very interesting concept! And congratulations for the launch and for the success of the Ray mission 👏 What type of payload are you targeting? it is definitely a big challenge to get it up there at the right moment (logistics, costs…) and deploy it when required.
That's a big and bold vision. But? Aren't you competing with SpaceX and Elon Musk? And who are your actual customers? Island dwellers? When I think about it, I would say they are space stations. Because for everything else, there is already affordable infrastructure like airplanes and ships...
Really bold vision: making space a logistics network, not just a frontier. If Arc delivers on reusable, fast, precise global delivery, this could rewrite how we think about transport & defense. Keen to see the first flight.
