Cool to see AFRL talking about this! At Inversion we've been focused from day 1 on building advanced re-entry vehicles to deliver cargo to remote locations. We’ve always believed the future of space-based delivery would require a new class of smaller scalable reentry vehicles. More to do, but closer every day!

Inversion has been selected by @NASA to advance aerocapture technology for interplanetary missions. Aerocapture is a simple but powerful idea: use a planet’s atmosphere to slow down instead of fuel. Spacecraft arriving at another planet are traveling at tremendous speeds and traditionally must carry significant propellant to slow down and enter orbit. Aerocapture instead uses aerodynamic forces during a single controlled pass through the atmosphere to shed velocity and achieve orbital capture. Less fuel means mass savings that can enable greater flexibility in launch vehicle selection, increased science payload, and significantly shorter trip times. Under the contract, Inversion will study how Arc could support the demonstration through mission design, aerodynamics, trajectory analysis, and vehicle definition. This award represents a new frontier for Arc and highlights the growing range of missions enabled by advanced reentry.

Inversion is hiring across ALL disciplines. Including: Reentry. As part of the Reentry team, you’ll help Arc survive, maneuver, and operate through one of the most extreme environments any vehicle can face: hypersonic flight back from space. Thermal protection, aerodynamics, structures, GNC, testing – every discipline has to work together when a spacecraft hits the atmosphere at Mach 20+. Explore open roles: inversionspace.com/careers

Our CEO @jcfiaschetti shares the origin story of Inversion. Check out this clip from the MECO podcast hosted by @acolangelo. It’s part of a nearly hour-long conversation that dives into spacecraft design, first-principles engineering, advanced reentry, and the technical decisions shaping the future of returning from space.

This is an anechoic chamber – a room designed to minimize RF reflections and external interference to accurately characterize antenna performance under near free-space conditions. We just completed testing for a portion of Arc’s RF system. The goal: validate that our system performs as expected, including through our thermal protection system. Early results are very encouraging as we continue validating flight hardware ahead of Arc’s first flight.

Our drogue parachute deploys at supersonic speeds – making it a fundamentally different engineering challenge than the main parachutes for Arc. Made of Kevlar, the drogue is designed to withstand the extreme aerodynamic loads and temperatures in the wake of Mach 2+ speeds post reentry from space. Every drogue is cut, sewn, and tested in-house. We're not just designing the hardware, but building the manufacturing capability to produce it at scale.
