icantmakemodels Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 go to every planet (in any order, including moons), on one launch, without refueling, using any mods... and only using radial engines. (yes, for absolutely EVERYTHNG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astropapi1 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 *Sigh.How do we win? Where's your attempt? What are the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Ross Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 What does 'Go to every planet' mean ? Flyby ? Orbit ? Land ?Not one to turn down a challenge, but frankly I don't think this one is actually possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numerobis Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Someone whose username starts with 'm' (but I forget the rest) showed that you can in fact do a grand tour using a single aerospike, so this challenge is certainly doable with enough parts and patience. But the challenge needs more structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeldrak Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Well, I won't spend days of my time on a challenge, when the OP didn't even bother to write more than one line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Well I don't think I have the patience to do a Grand Tour, and the rules should be defined better, but this has sparked my curiosity, so I want to see what I can come up with using only these:Going to the VAB now, BRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJodelstein Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Actually, i doubt it is possible to build a lifter that puts more than 10 tons into lko. Come-on, the highest-thrusting option has 120 kN thrust at a lousy ISP. I think even 5 tons to lko with these is a great display of engineering skill. Every planet? not very likely. And if we can start in LKO it immediately goes down to almost zero challenge if you have a good enough computer. Sorry, back to the drawing board.

numerobis Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The 24-77 gets mediocre Isp, but pretty good TWR. You can certainly use it to get a decent payload to LKO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnno Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Please read the Challenge Submission Guidelines as has been recommended and perhaps review other people's challenges (at the very least the popular ones) to get a better grasp of how to create a successful challenge.As this challenge lacks in design (information, scoring, etc) the thread will be closed. Please create a new thread when ready to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
