Modular Configurable Electric Power Converter
CisLunar Industries' family of PowR© DC power converters take electrical power from solar panels, batteries, nuclear, or thermoelectric generators, and converts it into precise voltages, currents, and frequencies.
Our subsystem developed to convert DC current from solar panels into highly configurable, high density, high frequency, AC current was originally developed for our Modular Space Foundry (MSF).

Applications
1 / Electric Propulsion
As one of many useful other applications, this subsystem is being adapted to be used as a Power Processing Unit (PPU) for electric propulsion, scalable to high power levels.
2 / Welding
Low physical volume, high power - get more for the limited space you have.
3 / ...and many more Critical Subsystems
MCEPC can be used in any application where your need involves high power conversion but with a small form factor!

Modular Space
Foundry®
CisLunar Industries is developing an innovative engineering solution to enable the recycling of spent upper stages, satellites, and space debris, thereby transforming otherwise dangerous material into feedstock for in-orbit manufacturing.
Our recycling technology will take recovered space debris and reprocess it into standardized metal feedstock in the form of rod, wire filament, and other useful geometries. These will be used in a variety of applications, including a metal propellant and for in-orbit servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM).
MSF Prototype:
SBIR Phase-1
​
As part of our NASA SBIR Phase-1 contract, we were able to rapidly prototype and demonstrate control of melt levitation and heating, and create our first rod casting machine in 6 months.
Along with other partners in the value chain, we demonstrated publicly through live demonstration in October 2021 the capability to manufacture a rod, which was then used to successfully generate thrust in an electric thruster as fuel.
Watch the live demonstration below:
MSF Prototype:
SBIR Phase-2
​
As part of our NASA SBIR Phase-2 contract, we rigorously tested our Modular Space Foundry® prototype under microgravity conditions during our first parabolic flight test in November 2022.
With the results from this flight, our next iteration will take part in another parabolic flight in May 2023.
Propellant
​
We were able to demonstrate that an MSF rod made from scrap rocket upper stage material could be melted down and extruded into a rod. This rod was then used by Neumann Space as a solid-state fuel rod for use by their electric propulsion system.
