Despite successful tests, the pilot flight originally planned for March 1933 never took place. After several delays, the project was finally stopped in 1934 when the National Socialists prohibited all private missile attempts (which also included the Magdeburg experiment).

Mengering commissioned Rudolf Nebel to develop a manned rocket in order to reach the moon 5000 kilometersm away.
