Mobile launchpads suck

I assume radiator heat shields are allowed since I used one on my submission to this challenge.

I made a kerballed landing on Eeloo and back on a single stack of 0.625m parts some while ago. Unfortunately it is 0.9m to high for this challenge. Mission report: https://imgur.com/gallery/wPaSwcX . Taking two Oscar-B fuel tanks off would meet the requirements and if I also reduce the amount of ablator on the heat shield, it should still be possible. If not, I could still add side boosters. But I'm not planning to repeat this mission.

For this challenge I tried a mission including a Tylo landing. I managed to do the landing and ascent during testing but the delta-V requirements for the rest of the mission seem to be too high for this challenge, so I'm not going to submit an entry to this challenge.

Why there is no height limit, and you can add literally enough 0.625m booster to make to rocket 3.75m in diameter

But the problem with your mission is The Ion tug is literally more than 510 kg

I might try an unmanned mission, I feel like they'll be competitive

My ion stage is 822 kg excluding the Kerbal. But you could argue that it is not a tug because the ion engine is not tugging any other stages. I think there is also a "more" missing in the rule about ion tugs.

There is a height limit of 17.5m in the rules. My craft is 18.4m tall excluding the Kerbal.

I haven't had much time to do this challenge but here's me getting my submission into orbit. It consists of an oversized fuel tanker and a tiny probe.

In VAB. 125 parts, well under height limit, two layers of boosters, one with eight boosters and one with six more

Launch

Boosters detached

Sustainer detached

Circularizing

In orbit. Tanker has 3800 m/s left and probe has a bunch of delta-v also, I can do a ton of flybys with this much fuel

Great @camacju
