- Inversion, a new spacecraft company, unveiled its 'Arc' delivery vehicle designed for the US military.
- The Arc can deliver up to 500 pounds (225 kg) of supplies globally in under an hour.
- Founded in 2021 by Justin Fiaschetti and Austin Briggs, both former Boston University students.
- Fiaschetti's background includes internships at SpaceX and Relativity Space, focusing on propulsion.
- Inversion's mission is to use space for global cargo delivery, not just as a destination.
- The company demonstrated its technology with the 'Ray' spacecraft, launched on SpaceX's Transporter-12 mission in January.
- Ray was designed to test Inversion's subsystems and perform a deorbit burn before landing off California.
