How fast can you de-orbit and land back at the VAB/Launch Pad. Prizes for the top 3 Do you think you have what it takes? Rules: AP and PA must be between 90-100KM Must be in orbit around Kerbin No Time Warping Must Land on the VAB roof or the launch pad Must be done in 10 minutes No Cheats Rule explanation: Your orbit can be between 90-100km PA/AP Pretty self explanatory This challenge is only allowed to be done over Kerbin Your 10 minute countdown begins when you start your deorbit burn. and it must be 10 minutes mission/game time, so time/physics warping would probably be a bad idea Anyone can land anywhere under 10 minutes, but, to make this a bigger challenge and an achievement, you must land either on top of the VAB or the launch pad From the minute you make your de orbital burn, that's when your 10 minute countdown starts from your MET, so it's 10 minutes game time Cheating: no unlimited fuel, no unlimited charge, no unlimited RCS etc. NO cheating is allowed or it wouldn't be a challenge, now would it? [Side Rule/Note] Screenshots or Clips or it never happened [Side Rule/Note] Only 1 de orbit burn is allowed Tips & Hints: You can quicksave just before your deorbit burn, this makes restarting the challenge a little less tedious You're gonna be coming down pretty fast, so a good heat shield will help you not.....die Air brakes if placed correctly are more efficient than drag chutes Parachutes and drogue chutes aren't the best idea, a couple of drag chutes will help Jumping out the craft IS an option Failure IS an option Sepratron are probably the best for de-orbiting burns and saving time, if you do the maths Dying will fail the challenge Mods are accepted If you do decide to jump out, take note of the crafts MET before you jump out, then add the kerbals EVA to the crafts MET time Prizes: A featured Kerbal(based by your name) and your craft in my next video A mention/shout out in my next video Your quote in my next video A cookie A donut the feeling of being in last place Leader board Name Time Completed in Time Remaining Pos Sparky 7 Minutes 2 Seconds 2 Minutes 58 Seconds 1
