Congratulations to the six prize winning teams in the NASA Break-the-Ice Challenge! Next will be the finals between these six competitors. cislune Dr. Paul van Susante nasa.gov/directorates/s…

Happy to work with the Caltech BIG Idea Challenge team on PILLARS: Plume-deployed Inflatable for Launch and Landing Abrasive Regolith Shielding

The AIAA Space Resources Technical Committee Space Resources Webinar Series is hosting Erik Franks (cislune) on April 30 at 5:00 PM US ET / 2:00 PM US PT! Registration (free!) required at the following link. See you then and there! aiaa.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

I’m excited to work with cislune (prime proposer) and Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin Company developing lunar ice mining technology on this project! We are developing technologies that will minimize ice loss during the excavation and transport processes.

Looking forward to competing on this track next month

Troy – Invader from Zim Ryan J 𝕏 Jack Kuhr Yes! This project led by cislune Erik Franks addresses the issue. See the summary at the bottom. sbir.gov/node/2538453

The rover wheel testbed shown here is part of the Exolith Lab and is available for companies to use (reimbursing direct costs). We used it in a recent project with cislune funded by NASA, "Refuse-To-Get-Stuck Rovers."

If you’d like to see videos of the robots in Lunabotics, Erik Franks posted all of them to the cislune YouTube channel, here: youtube.com/@cisluneinc?si…

Cislune is attending the Space Resources Roundtable (SRR), June 3–6, 2025. We’ll be discussing advances in lunar ISRU, ice-mining robotics, and propellant production. DM us to connect and explore collaboration opportunities. #SpaceResources #SRR2025 #Cislune #LunarISRU

Heading to Vegas for AIAA #ASCEND2025! I’ll be sharing how Cislune’s rovers and excavators do site prep for launch‑pad infrastructure and ice mining. Erik Franks there Wed/Thu. Let’s talk #LunarMining #ISRU 🌕

Related to our 2021 NASA STTR on site preparation. Grateful to work with Phil on these and many other innovations over the years.

Industry partnership + Interdisciplinary knowledge = Successful space missions. 🚀 @Cislune partnered with UCF experts to use immersive technology and insights to improve decision-making for future lunar missions. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/47sxqAp #SpaceU UCF Engineering

Excited to be presenting at the 2nd Lunar Polar Volatiles Conference (Wed–Fri) in Honolulu & virtually! At Cislune we’re showing our work on ultrasonic & percussive ice-mining of lunar regolith to reduce volatile loss at the poles. Looking forward to meetings
