Editing Raketenstelle Alt-Georgetown (section)

== Reorganization and legacy ==

By 1955, the Raketenstelle had reconstructed the propulsion and guidance systems required for a complete test vehicle. The Konstruktionsbüro approved the production design of the [[A-4T Tanoa]] on 9 December 1955. Component manufacture continued through 1956 as the Tuvanaka test site and Puerto Deseado works were being constructed. This geographic expansion placed launch preparation and heavy fabrication beyond the authority of a single engineering office. Dornberger proposed a separate branch with command over the archive and the new facilities. The Oberkommando approved the reorganization on 4 October 1956 and dissolved the Raketenstelle as an independent office.

Its Konstruktionsbüro and propulsion group became the core of the [[Amtsgruppe Raketenwesen]]. Debus transferred the launch procedures to the Tuvanaka organization, while Rees and Rudolph continued coordinating production through the Patagonian network. The original archive remained beneath Speicherhaus 3 and served as the controlled design repository for the early Weltraumgruppen. Prüfstand Tuvanaka-Nord conducted the first successful complete-engine test on 18 March 1957. The A-4T program then led to the high-altitude launch from [[Startplatz Lijnhaven-Ost]] on 9 August 1958, completing the development sequence begun at Werkhof 17.
