Cis-Lunar was a company specializing in the production of automatic, computer-controlled, and closed-circuit rebreathers.

History

Cis-Lunar originally aimed to develop space suit kits, but the Dot-com crash in the early 2000s reportedly hindered its ability to finance the mass production of the MKS rebreather, which featured designs intended to reduce system and mission failures.[1]

In 2005, the Swedish diving equipment manufacturer, Poseidon, acquired Cis-Lunar's technology. Bill Stone, founder of Stone Aerospace, was appointed to lead a team in designing a new closed-circuit rebreather under Poseidon.[2][3]

Etymology

The word cis-lunar comes from Latin and means "on this side of the Moon" or "not beyond the Moon".[4]
