Inversion, a young aerospace and defence company based in Los Angeles, has unveiled its first flagship spacecraft, Arc. The reentry vehicle is designed to deliver up to 500 pounds of mission-critical cargo from orbit to almost any point on Earth in less than an hour. The company revealed the spacecraft during an event at its factory.

Arc stands about 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide, roughly the size of a large tabletop. It is built to handle deliveries ranging from medical kits to drones. The company plans to keep Arcs in orbit for extended periods, ready to descend when called upon.
