Most G's achieved

[matt3526]

Hi there, this is my first challenge post so please forgive any basic mistakes.

the challenge is to take off and and on Kerbin, but to try to achieve as many G's as possible in the process. Only stock parts allowed and no cheating mods that could assist with this are allowed. I'll get the ball rolling with 26.3 G's endured by the brave crew. If I can figure out how to upload an image then I will.

Edit: forgot to add, Kerbals must be on board and survive the impact with Kerbin

****, I tried one that I was sure would get a lot of G's, it only got 5.

[zapy97]

okay let me try and figure this for my self, take of and land on kerbin and achieve as many Gs as possible so what is the furthest I can go from Kerbin?

[davecasa]

Got 55.0 G with a pretty simple straight up and down: http://i.imgur.com/kiotFAc.jpg

Oh i just started basically the same challenge but for reentry. My best was 33.4 g's.

[Tarsus]

I got 112.8G in a rocket assisted reentry, ill post a video as soon as I have a chance to edit it.

Edit- video done.

for the Fastest Drop Pod from Orbit to Landing challenge i got a 53.8G

next of cores i need to make something designed to just pulling g-force

[Flixxbeatz]

1. Build capable rocket.

2. Launch into an extremely elliptical trajectory, with a Pe touching Kerbin's surface (85,000,000+m x 0m, barely escaping Kerbin)

3. ??????

4. PROFIT!

Would you like the craft file so you can try that?

as i dont think i can

Thanks, but I already have the right tool for the job. Will do it in a few days.

Interesting challenge, I'm quite excited to try this.

My worst was 77.000 g, however it was using an orion pulse drive probe using only the largest bombs, some rcs and torque modules. Accelrated the ship to close to 1000 Km/s hit Eve after a bit over a day traveling and did an aerobrake. Ship itself survived but the side mounted rcs tanks and torque modules was ripped off without me noticing making it impossible to turn.

My strategy. Give me a day to test this.

build reentry vehicle sitting on pile of SRBs. Go to Minmus. Escape minmus. set periaps to kerbin surface. Upon impact with the atmosphere, ignite SRBs. Pray to God they burn out before you trigger parachutes.

Other option: Do this from Eeloo using true interplanetary velocities.

if or when you do it from Eeloo try to go counter kerbin orbit so you ca nhit with the maximun speed posabal

and i think i will have to try that

[AletzN1]

Without even trying i got 105g! from Jool. THEN when i was searching this thread, and i wanted even more Gs, I got 50g seriously. What kind of logic is this?

[AmpsterMan]

All of them. The most G's I have achieved is all of them.

[TTurchan1]

Hmm... I think I'll try this soon with a Jool mission, just take the main ship on an aerobraking trajectory, but launch a seperate atmosphere probe to go straight into the planet.

[Hejnfelt]

Jeb pulled 1.21 Gigawatt!... I mean 121.6 Gs

Great Challenge! Thanks for hosting, matt3526!

[edit: please note that I managed to break KSP doing this. Hence the lack of flight report...]

Ended up hitting 15+ on the gauge.

[Death Engineering]

Coming back from the Eeloo Challenge mission, the seven kerbal crew endured 85.0gs. And, check out the distance covered stats, too. Long, long drive!

I got 30 while trying to land with a rocket on the desert temple.
