Arc by Inversion

Making space a transportation layer for earth

Website inversionspace.com
Overview

What it is

Arc by Inversion is a reusable, space-based vehicle that delivers cargo anywhere on Earth in under an hour. Pre-positioned in orbit, Arc creates a new on-demand logistics domain from space, offering unprecedented speed and global access for critical missions.

Intent

I need it when

Establish on-orbit logistics and satellite operations with a reusable, multi-year platform

Arc functions as a reusable satellite capable of capturing and deploying assets, rendezvous with other spacecraft, and operating in orbit for up to five years, enabling persistent orbital logistics and advanced on-orbit operations

Test hypersonic vehicle performance and threat trajectories for defense and aerospace applications

Arc's high maneuverability at hypersonic speeds enables realistic replication of next-generation threat trajectories, providing advanced testing capabilities that strengthen national security and accelerate innovation in hypersonic systems

Deliver mission-critical cargo to remote, austere, or infrastructure-limited locations globally in minimal time

Arc provides space-based delivery from pre-positioned orbital constellations, enabling cargo delivery anywhere on Earth in under one hour without relying on ground infrastructure, ideal for emergency response, disaster relief, or operations in denied environments

Access a low-cost, rapidly deployable space transportation capability built on proven flight heritage

Arc is built on Inversion's Ray mission heritage, demonstrating the company's ability to develop advanced space systems at low cost and speed; Arc's autonomous, reusable design unlocks space as a new logistics domain with unprecedented global access

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires same-day or next-day delivery within a single region; Arc targets global delivery in under one hour but is positioned for mission-critical cargo, not routine logistics
  • User needs cost-optimized shipping for low-value or bulk commodities; Arc is designed for high-value, time-critical cargo to austere or denied environments
  • User operates in densely populated urban areas where hypersonic reentry poses safety or regulatory concerns
  • User requires transparent, published pricing; Arc appears to be a B2B/government service with custom pricing, not a consumer product
  • User needs established, operational service today; Arc is still in development with only Ray (validation mission) completed; commercial operations are future-state
