About

Inversion develops autonomous reentry vehicles to establish a global logistics network for delivering cargo from space to any point on Earth in under an hour. Founded in 2021 by engineers from SpaceX and ABL Space Systems, the company operates at the intersection of space logistics, national security, and commercial delivery. Its dual-use technology is designed to serve urgent defense requirements alongside future commercial applications.

The company's flagship products include the Arc, a precision cargo delivery vehicle also suited for hypersonic testing and orbital logistics, and the Ray, its first spacecraft, which successfully validated key reentry subsystems in orbit. Inversion has secured a $71 million contract with the U.S. Space Force and raised $44 million in Series A funding to advance its development.

Headquartered in a 55,000-square-foot facility in Los Angeles with a dedicated test site in the Mojave Desert, Inversion operates with a team of approximately 60 people. The company's stated aims include expanding global responsiveness, strengthening deterrence, and making Earth more accessible through rapid space-based delivery capabilities.
