CisLunar Industries

CisLunar Industries was founded to recycle metals in space by ingesting defunct spacecraft and debris and spitting out usable materials for in-space manufacturing and assembly. There’s just one problem: founder and CEO Gary Calnan told Payload he doesn’t see a commercial market for materials on the Moon “for several more years, getting towards the end of the decade.” https://lnkd.in/e8iiMg5v

"Wanting to solve a problem for real, wanting to do a good job, wanting to be useful to others by setting as clear a direction as I can. Those are certainly some things that I try to do." –?Lee Steinke. We're back with our latest episode of Mission Critical: Defense Recruiting featuring Lee Steinke, COO of CisLunar Industries - an inspirational leader making waves in aerospace and energy. Lee’s story is truly inspiring. During the pandemic, she transitioned from oil and gas to aerospace, applying her geological expertise to connect drilling rigs with rocket launch pads—showing how diverse industries can unlock new opportunities. Key Highlights: ? Her journey from senior executive to volunteer, and how it set the stage for her current leadership roles ?? The emotional TEDx talk prep process that sharpened her public speaking and built confidence ?? How Lee and her team are turning space junk into treasure for the future of orbital salvage This episode is packed with insights on resilience, adaptability, and embracing change in dynamic industries.

This week, CisLunar Industries again proved our power management and distribution technology in microgravity, this time on a second parabolic flight, where it simultaneously ran multiple manufacturing technologies in a test environment. We have space heritage and two parabolic flight tests now as we continue to commercialize our power products. A hallmark of a high-performing team: Shared Purpose Pictured: Chris Fischer, Elijah Richter, Grace Frazier, Seth Stewart, and Lee Steinke Colorado School of Mines Zero-G NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Andrea Sampson United States Space Force Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin Space Elara Nova: The Space Consultancy Joseph Pawelski Ubaldo Ciminieri (he/him/his) Gary Calnan, CFA SpaceWERX Air Force Research Laboratory

CisLunar Industries successfully continuously cast a full aluminum sample rod today in microgravity! Super proud of our incredible engineering team, getting here was extremely hard, and they totally crushed it!

In the silence of the cosmos, dreams take flight, CisLunar Industries embarks on a celestial night. Aboard Zero-G's parabolic arc, they soar, Preparing payloads for the space station's door. In weightless dance, technology finds its grace, Microgravity's embrace, a testbed in space. With each parabolic curve, innovation ignites, Forging paths for future orbital flights. The payload readies for its stellar debut, Crafted with precision, dreams come true. From Earth's cradle to the stars it will ascend, A testament to human endeavor without end. As CisLunar reaches for the ISS above, Their mission speaks of courage and love. For in the vast expanse where stardust swirls, They prepare the future in twirling whirls. ??

Happy Halloween! CisLunar Industries Parabolic flight hardware is ready to ship!

IAC2024 in the books, & what a week in #Milan! ???? ??I presented on lunar metallurgy, ate incredible food, talked Omnetix & #techonomics, got drenched in the downpours, and had incredible talks on the future of space. ?? I was extremely lucky to attend a SETI Institute reception ahead of their 40th anniversary! Had crazy cool conversations on alien mining technosignatures, the #FermiParadox, great filter(s), and how our Moon’s chaotic genesis may be the reason we’re alive today. ?? ?? I caught up with my International Space University classmates from all over the world! So many of whom have gone on to become entrepreneurs and leaders in their fields! ?? I also got to showcase some new #Math I’ve been working on to describe and project potential paths of technological and economic innovation! ?? Met with my clients and made new ones, somehow even got multinational government interest in my math frameworks!
