Hi everyone!
Your next package might not arrive horizontally, but drop from the sky. Inversion just unveiled Arc, a space-based delivery vehicle that promises to deliver cargo anywhere on Earth in under an hour.
This is interesting because it shows a future where vertical delivery is stratified by value. Drones will likely own the low-altitude, short-haul space for low-to-medium value goods. Orbital vehicles like Arc will occupy the sub-orbital layer for high-value, intercontinental delivery.
Arc is still in its early stages, but Inversion has already validated key subsystems with their previous Ray mission and is targeting the first orbital missions for 2026.
