CisLunar Industries, founded in 2017, is a space technology company focused on enabling a sustainable industrial revolution in space. They design and build hardware for in-space metal processing and power conversion, with the goal of recycling space debris into useful materials for on-orbit manufacturing. Their key product is the Modular Space Foundry (MSF), and they also develop power processing units (PPUs) for electric propulsion. CisLunar Industries has partnered with organizations like ThinkOrbital and has received funding from NASA and DARPA for projects related to lunar infrastructure development and space debris utilization.
