Episode notes
Space As A Transportation Layer
- Inversion builds reentry vehicles to store payloads in orbit for years and deliver anywhere on Earth in under an hour.
- Justin Fiaschetti calls space a transportation layer that gives global access like aircraft did a century ago.
Building Ray As A Learning Vehicle
- Inversion built Ray, a two-foot-wide demo spacecraft, to learn and validate systems.
- The team of ~25 built every system in-house to accelerate development toward ARC.
Simulate Nightly To Speed Iteration
- Run daily and nightly simulations to shorten feedback loops and catch edge cases early.
- Use hardware- and software-in-the-loop testing to iterate faster before expensive physical tests.
