Cargo anywhere in the world in 1 hour: Orbital flights begin next year

Trials of the fastest cargo service, which will make it possible to send cargo anywhere in the world within an hour, will begin next year. The owner of this ambitious project, the US-based Inversion Space company, introduced its new generation vehicle, Arc.

IT WILL BE ABLE TO STORE CARGO IN ORBITS FOR 5 YEARS So how will Arc achieve the manufacturer's claim of "carrying cargo anywhere in the world in 1 hour"? To achieve this, Arc will first be sent into Earth orbit by a rocket. If desired, the vehicle will be able to store its cargo in Earth orbit for 5 years. When needed, it will activate its onboard engines and reenter the atmosphere, reaching a speed 20 times faster than the speed of sound. Thanks to this speed, it will be able to reach any location on Earth in less than an hour.

In other words, the vehicle that receives the cargo is actually waiting ready in orbit and enters the atmosphere when needed to deliver the cargo very quickly. HAS A CARRYING CAPACITY OF 225 KILO The vehicle, which currently has a cargo carrying capacity of 225 kilos, will be able to land at the predetermined point with a precision of 15 meters thanks to its on-board thrusters and autonomous parachute. IT WILL BE USED FIRST FOR THE DEFENSE INDUSTRY The company’s founder, Justin Fiaschetti, says that they initially plan to serve the defense industry. However, he also signals that they will later transition to civilian use. Fiaschetti said, “When we look at the transportation systems we use today, you’ll see that they also started out serving military purposes. The US highway system was originally established to carry tanks from one place to another. But now everyone uses those roads. I think the same thing will happen with the space -based delivery system.” Arc is planned to make its first orbital flight in 2026. The company aims to establish a global delivery network by producing hundreds of vehicles by 2028.
