Inversion

A key differentiator of Arc is its high maneuverability. That means Arc can precisely shape its path through the atmosphere, access a wider range of landing locations, respond to changing mission conditions, and create unique, sustained flight environments for hypersonic testing.

Not exactly Times Square. But a better place to promote Arc as a scalable hypersonic test platform. Any guesses where we put this billboard? Know your audience.

NBC stopped by our Los Angeles factory for a closer look at our work in advanced reentry and the future of delivery from space. Full video here: https://lnkd.in/gnZTrZm5

Last night NBC News aired a behind-the-scenes look at what we’re building. Space enables unprecedented speed and global reach. Our advanced reentry technology will allow spacecraft to return through extreme conditions and land softly and precisely under parachute to unlock delivery from space.

Inversion is hiring across ALL disciplines. Including: Software. Our software team builds the code that makes Arc think, fly, navigate, and land softly under parachute. You’ll work on flight software, ground software, and autonomy to bring Arc’s missions to life. Explore open roles: https://lnkd.in/gbPqT3Hi

Landing accurately under parachute has historically been more art than science. We're changing that with physical AI. The flexibility of the fabric has traditionally made modeling performance and controllability extremely difficult. By using the latest computer vision and AI models, we have been able to accurately track the movements and shape of the canopy across more than a hundred flights, variable control inputs, and changing flight conditions. The tracking remains effective through visual disruptions, canopy deflections, and changes in vehicle orientation. We feed this data back into our 8-DOF models to better tune Arc's GNC algorithms for the highest accuracy landing in a wide range of flight conditions. This, along with other updates, has reduced landing error by 90%. We're aiming for the controllability of a metal wing with a piece of fabric.

Precision delivery of cargo, to anywhere on earth, in under an hour. Arc spacecraft will be pre-positioned in Low-Earth Orbit, forming constellations tailored to customer needs. What's the cargo? We refer to what Arc carries as mission-enabling payloads — systems, sensors, and supplies that can make the difference between the success or failure of a mission.

Global access in under an hour. Arc is a space-based delivery vehicle designed for the precision delivery of cargo, to anywhere on earth, in under an hour. Autonomous, reusable, and low-cost, Arc unlocks space as a new logistics domain offering unprecedented speed and global access. Arc also provides critical hypersonic testing capabilities and advanced on-orbit operations that strengthen national security and accelerate innovation.

Happy 250th America 🇺🇸 Proud to build here.
