Founded in 2021, Inversion unveiled Arc, a reusable cargo spacecraft designed to revolutionize global logistics.
The video aims to explain how Arc works and its concept.
How Inversion views space not as a "destination," but as a logistics "platform" for global transportation.
Design and Functionality: The details of Arc, a compact spacecraft (1.2m x 2.4m) that produces atmospheric lift, enabling precise reentry maneuvers. Inspired by the X-37B concept, but with a high-precision parachute-assisted landing.
Key Market: The initial focus is on the defense sector and critical missions requiring an immediate response, reducing the average response time from 5 hours to less than 1 hour.
Orbital Logistics: Arc will operate as a satellite with its own service module, capable of remaining in orbit for up to 5 years, awaiting orders to deliver its specialized payload (spare parts, equipment, emergency supplies) to any remote location.
When Will It Fly? Inversion plans its first test mission for next year, with the goal of deploying a large constellation of Arc spacecraft starting in 2028.
We compared Arc with projects like Starship and concluded that, despite its much smaller payload mass, its flexibility and orbital storage concept open up a completely different services market.
