No oxidizer!

[wetwetwet]

Kebal space prgram has been through many budget cuts but now they even have to cut oxidizer!

Your goal will be to get as high as you can without useing NO units of oxidizer( you can use as much liquid fuel as you want )

Here is mine : http://www.flickr.com/photos/98008567@N08/

I got 226000M high! How high can you get? It would preferable if you have a full video so i know you're not cheating

You must have at least 1 kerbal on your ship.

Of course, one could very easily exit Kerbol's SOI using just solid fuel rockets. Heck, a single booster can take you halfway to the Mun.

Edit - my 200th post. Neat.

Yes but try to do it without solid fuel or oxidizer

I've seen spaceplanes that can reach near-orbit on just airbreathing engines, to the point that they can circularize with ion drives. From there I imagine it's very easy to ion out of Kerbin's SOI entirely. I'd enter it myself, but I'm terrible with planes.

You can go anywhere on the Solar system using solids or ion engines.

Just as an example, Macey Dean went to Eve on a SSTO without using Oxidizer:

antbin landed a spaceplane on Laythe and went back, with a jet and xenon.

No word on what the poor kerbal ate during the trip, or how he shook out his legs.

Dammit. Changing the rules just as this thing finishes encoding and uploading. And after recovering from spins and missing bits of rocket too!

It was worth checking this thread for this post alone, but seriously, this is a jets + Ion + RCS only challenge?

Also show us your ship wetwetwet.

SRBs have oxydiser, it's just part of the solid fuel rather than a separate component

So technically SRBs aren't allowed, though OP quite possibly didn't realise that.

sorry i am a noob at the forums so i just linked to the pictures because i dont know how to instert them with flickr

[Pbhead]

ya, my maching bird challenge entry got over 300,000 into space, but if xenon is allowed, one can go anywhere. (though, only get back from lathe or gilly, maybe pol.)

This thing works with FAR mod, combined Jet/Ramjet/Ion engine gives it 4500 delta V after reaching orbit. Obviously that's gonna escape Kerbin, so I don't know what altitude that is.
