Launch escape… to orbit

[Teilnehmer]

Launch a Kerbal from the surface into a stable orbit using the Launch Escape System as the only source of propulsion.

• You can choose one of the 5 largest planets: Moho, Duna, Tylo, Laythe, Kerbin. (I don’t think Eve is possible. If you can do it from Eve, you are the greatest champion)
• Start from any elevation, the lower the better.
• You can hyperedit there.
• Any propulsion parts other than Launch Escape System are not allowed. RSC is not allowed also.
• Your vessel should be kerballed.
• You should reach a stable orbit (closed; Pe must be above the atmosphere and highest mountains).

Planet	Δv to orbit	min Pe alt.
Moho	870 m/s	6.9 km
Duna	1450 m/s	50.0 km
Tylo	2270 m/s	11.3 km
Laythe	2900 m/s	50.0 km
Kerbin	3400 m/s	70.0 km

• No cheating, no part/physics mods.
• Take some screenshots or a video.

Well… I’ll try.

This comes to mind:

What If? Model Rockets

Well this was tedious to build and test, but satisfying to watch all those stages drop.

Well, I’m not an artist…

BTW, @silks, did you use KOS or MechJeb to control the vessel?

I forgot to mention that control mods are allowed.

Yeah, the ascent was carried out by MechJeb, which allowed me to go into full scenic mode.

Sweet badge by the way!

Looking forward to a Tylo launcher... if someone has a cpu to handle the part count.
