Inbound Aerospace

Inbound Aerospace is changing how space missions work by developing vehicles that can go up and come back—over and over again. These spacecraft aren’t just built for single-use launches. They're designed to fly, return and repeat. That means lower costs, less waste and more regular access to space for cargo, research, and new industries that need microgravity to build the future.

Core Product and Services

• Reusable Space Vehicles: These are high-tech crafts built to transport payloads into space and bring them back safely. They're ideal for experiments or goods that need to operate in orbit and then return to Earth.
• Safe Space Cargo Returns: Inbound provides a service where customers can send items to space and count on them being delivered back intact. This allows companies to repeat missions reliably without starting from scratch each time.
• Support for Microgravity Manufacturing: Some products—like advanced drugs, protein structures, or fibre optics—can only be made properly in zero gravity. Inbound helps labs and businesses access that environment for short- and long-term projects.
• Smart Return Systems: Their spacecraft use intelligent onboard software to guide reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. This reduces the need for ground control and ensures more predictable, safer landings—making reuse practical.

Business Model and Revenue Streams

• Per-Mission Fees: Every launch and return trip is priced based on how much and what type of cargo is being flown.
• Payload Preparation: They charge for helping customers get their cargo flight-ready—testing it, packaging it and fitting it into the vehicle.
• Reserved Mission Slots: Businesses or research labs that need regular access to space can book recurring trips. This builds long-term revenue.
• Licensing Their Tech: Inbound also earns by licensing out its reentry software or vehicle designs to other aerospace companies.
• B2B Contracts: Their main clients include research institutions, biotech firms, government agencies, and universities.
• Cost Savings via Reuse: The biggest value lies in using the same spacecraft repeatedly. That brings down long-term costs for everyone and helps attract steady clients.
• Full Service Cycle: From launch planning to reentry and delivery, Inbound handles every part of the mission—offering a smooth, all-in-one solution.
