FibreCoat GmbH

German materials company included for MoonFibre, its proposed conversion of lunar regolith into fibres and textiles for infrastructure. ESA lists FibreCoat in the first Space Resources Industry Accelerator cohort. The company reports producing fibres from lunar-regolith simulants for research; this is an attributed ground-work claim, not manufacture on the Moon.

Status
UnknownStatus date not recorded. The undated ESA cohort page and company project/imprint pages establish this scoped resource-development role. The ESA page makes co-funding conditional on implementation-plan review; it does not establish a FibreCoat award amount. Current legal or contract status is not separately dated here; unknown does not mean inactive.

Open evidence gaps

  • No independent test report or lunar manufacture is established; the simulant-fibre claim is FibreCoat's own account.
  • ESA selection is not final co-funding approval. No contract amount or committed lunar flight is recorded.
  • The company imprint gives an Aachen registered address and HRB 23562; a court-register extract and founding date were not checked.
