For even more on Ray's mission, Co-Founder and CTO, @_abriggs, wrote a technical deep-dive. Read it here: medium.com/inversion-spac…
As an engineer, I’ve always loved learning about other programs. This Medium post on Ray’s mission is written with that in mind. Reply with any questions and I’ll answer as much as I can!

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.
Excited to share more about Ray’s mission tomorrow! Planning to share a fair about of engineering details too.
Next week we’ll be sharing more details about @InversionSpace’s Ray mission. A lot to be very proud of for first flight!
Ray has been profoundly valuable to Inversion, with a ton of major successes! We had a very ambitious first mission, building both a re-entry capsule and a fully maneuverable spacecraft from scratch. Ray's on-orbit operations have been close to flawless, which is a testament to…

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…

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…
Ray recently captured a clear image from orbit while over Svalbard, Norway. Ray's mission is proceeding well, with the team working on continued data collection and testing on-orbit prior to a re-entry.
How to make a parachute. Re-entering back to Earth soon.

A few pictures from when Ray launched to space last month. An amazing day for the whole Inversion team! Ray remains healthy and on track with it's mission!
Over the past month, @ycombinator startups have: ▸ broken the sound barrier ▸ launched four satellites into GEO ▸ launched three satellites into LEO
Last Wednesday, approximately 29 hours after separation, @InversionSpace received our first pictures from Ray on orbit. Commissioning of Ray so quickly, just over 1 day, is a major accomplishment for our first mission! Ray remains healthy with all systems functioning nominally.
First images back from Ray!
Ray is healthy and happy on orbit. All systems have performed as designed and our mission is proceeding nominally.
