Cis-Lunar was a company specializing in the production of automatic, computer-controlled closed-circuit re-breathers.
History[edit]
Originally, Cis-Lunar aimed to develop spacesuit kits, but the dot-com crash in the early 2000s hindered their ability to finance the mass production of the MK5 re-breather, 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 re-breather under Poseidon.[2][3]
Bill Stone of Cis-Lunar and Richard Pyle discussed the Mark VI's design principles and operation in an interview with Scuba Magazine.[4]
Etymology[edit]
The word cis-lunar comes from Latin and means "on this side of the Moon" or "not beyond the Moon".[5]
