Abstract: A fiber composite plastic overwrap for a spacecraft container shell (8), in particular in connection with spacecraft containers, provides burnup as complete as possible on re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere despite good strength properties and simple production with the aid of conventional fiber winding processes. The overwrap comprises at least one winding tape (1) of a plastic matrix (2) in which at least two tape layers (3, 4) arranged one above the other in a transverse tape direction (y) are embedded. Each of the tape layers (3, 4) comprises a plurality of fiber bundles (5) extending unidirectionally in the longitudinal tape direction (x), Fiber bundles (5) of a tape layer (3, 4) adjacent in the longitudinal tape direction (x) directly adjoin one another in abutment regions (6) provided at least once per winding turn, and fiber bundles (5) adjacent in the transverse tape direction (y) are offset relative to one another in the longitudinal tape direction (x), forming an overlap region (7).
