Cis-Lunar was a company specializing in the production of automatic, computer-controlled, and closed-circuit
rebreathers for
astronauts and
underwater divers. The company was formed in 1984 and was acquired by
Stone Aerospace in 2004.[1]
History
Cis-Lunar originally aimed to develop
space suit kits, but the
early 2000s recession reportedly hindered its ability to finance the mass production of the MK5 rebreather, which featured designs intended to reduce system and mission failures.[2]
In 2005, the
Swedishdiving equipment manufacturer Poseidon acquired Cis-Lunar's technology.
Bill Stone, founder of
Stone Aerospace, was appointed to lead a Poseidon team designing a new closed-circuit rebreather.[3][1]
Etymology
The word cis-lunar comes from
Latin and means "on this side of the Moon" or "not beyond the Moon".[4]
