If you could “jack in” to new eyes falling from orbit, would you? 🪂 engineering

Inversion Space's concept would essentially create a library of on-demand payloads in orbital space. When the contents of those space cases are required, they are quickly deployed back into Earth's atmosphere like a comet at 25 times the speed of sound. A parachute then deploys a short while before touchdown, allowing for a smooth landing in a designated region.

Inversion Space says its technology could one day be used to quickly deploy artificial organs to hospitals when they're needed for surgical procedures. The low-gravity conditions of space are ideal for these delicate organs, as they are less likely to collapse in on themselves due to the effects of gravity. The company also explains that it could store small mobile hospital units in space for quick deployment in areas hit by natural disasters or humanitarian crises.
