radial engine challenge


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

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.
