Four Point

Poland-origin venture selected for ESRIC incubation in October 2022, with stated plans for autonomous lunar-regolith excavation and transport. Wroclaw University of Science and Technology reported in November 2024 that its regolith-sorting invention with Four Point Sp. z o.o. had been licensed to Astroport Space Technologies. The connection between the programme venture and the university's named collaborator is inferred from their shared name and resource field, with LIST identifying a Polish venture and the university identifying a Wroclaw collaborator; no corporate-identifier bridge is established.

Claimed

An organization's level is recorded separately and is not a ranking of its linked missions' results. How the ladder works.

Demonstrated

The undated technology-transfer offer describes a concept, completed 3D design and modelling, and verification work underway; its readiness field states TRL 2. A separate field explicitly labelled '(old)' says the technology was verified under operational conditions, without supporting test details. This internal inconsistency remains unresolved. No independent working-machine test, lunar resource processing, flight or commercial delivery is established.

Claimed or planned

ESRIC described lunar-regolith excavation and transport ambitions; the university describes a centrifugal sorting invention for lunar-regolith handling and construction research.

Status
UnknownStatus date not recorded. LIST's 2022 programme release identifies Four Point (Poland); the university's 2024 report and undated technology-transfer offer name Four Point Sp. z o.o. and describe the invention/application as jointly owned with the university. These are historical and attributed research relationships, not registry confirmation of current corporate or patent status. Unknown does not mean inactive.

Open evidence gaps

  • No corporate-identifier bridge between the ESRIC venture and the university collaborator is established. The legal-form alias is attributed to the university; current registration, headquarters address, ownership, founding year and any Luxembourg branch are unverified.
  • The up-to-EUR-200,000 incubation grant is an announced ceiling, not a confirmed award amount or payment. No funding event or company funding total is added.
  • The invention/application and historical licence are reported by the university. No granted-patent status, current licence terms, independent device test, lunar flight or extraction outcome was checked.
  • No relationship to TerraEye, Remote Sensing Business Solutions Sp. z o.o. or any successor is established. No website or such alias is assigned.
