Inversion Space develops re-entry vehicles that are designed to bring cargo and resources back from space at a low cost and with high frequency. Their vehicles work by safely transporting various types of cargo from low-earth orbit and beyond back to Earth. This process is essential for clients involved in space exploration and commercial activities, as it allows for the efficient return of valuable materials. Unlike other companies, Inversion Space focuses specifically on making re-entry as routine as launching into space, which is a significant step towards sustainable space operations. The company's goal is to support the growth of space activities by providing reliable re-entry solutions through service contracts and partnerships with space agencies and private companies.
