Love how this video came together. I think it gives an authentic look at Inversion’s founders, our first mission on orbit, and teases just the slightest bit of what’s ahead.
Inversion’s first mission to space was a massive challenge. Our team, our hardware, and our resolve were all put to the test. The mission validated key technologies and led to tremendous learnings – but also left us hungry for more. Check out our mission recap video below.

Yes!! Congratulations Hermeus!.
Airborne! Last week, Quarterhorse Mk 1 took off from Edwards AFB, achieved stable flight and landed smoothly. Mk 1's flight validated our rapid, iterative approach to airplane development and advanced our mission to radically accelerate aviation.

First mission for Inversion is in the books! The Ray spacecraft performed incredibly well on-orbit and showed off maneuverability. We didn’t get to attempt re-entry this time but a hell of a first mission for the team. Now we’re moving onto our next spacecraft, Arc. This thing is.
Our first spacecraft, Ray, has completed its mission on-orbit – serving as an extremely successful testbed for validating key technologies despite not attempting re-entry due to an on-orbit short circuit in a component preventing our deorbit engine from igniting. Throughout

The Martian mood board. They balanced looking futuristic and staying grounded in today’s space aesthetics. Feels super believable, like a mission to Mars could happen tomorrow. I love how they kept Houston’s Mission Control Center looking familiar – even keeping the blue desk

Watching a bunch of classic space movies and putting together mood boards for inspiration. Starting with the GOAT, 2001…. Hard to get much better than this. The colors, the computer graphics, spacesuits, and even the furniture are such a vibe. Seriously, EVERY new shot is worthy

Some personal news. I’ve joined @InversionSpace as Director of Marketing & Communications. Inversion is building spacecraft for precision delivery from space, to anywhere on earth, in under an hour. We’re on orbit right now with a test capsule named Ray, but what really got

Congratulations Boom! Incredible milestone and loved how you brought the public along. Exciting times.
Boom is supersonic. On Jan. 28, 2025 at 8:31am PST / 16:31 GMT, XB-1 broke the sound barrier. Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg safely and successfully achieved supersonic speed in XB-1, the first civil supersonic jet made in America. ✅New top speed: Mach 1.122

Love being out at Edwards. Just feels so legendary. Excited that Hermeus gets a chance to write a chapter of our own story there.
Ground testing at Edwards Air Force Base complete – first flight up next. The ground test campaign was completed in just 21 days and culminated in 130-knot taxi tests with full afterburner.

We’re rolling!.
We’re getting a lot of reps in taxi testing Quarterhorse Mk 1. These repeated runs allow us to gather data on all integrated systems – from the Flight Deck, to the vehicle, to ground support equipment, and air traffic coordination. Medium and high speed taxi runs up next, then
