is it possible to launch a full satalite from ground on kerbal (international space station mod) please help

[Taki117]

Of course it is. It would just take a very large rocket.

Do you think you could show us a few screenshots of the design you're trying to launch? That might help us give you better advice.

Absolutely, and the satellite doesn't need to be all that large, either. There was a challenge to that effect a few months ago. I seem to recall the winning combination was a Stayputnik, a small battery balanced with an unshielded solar panel, an FL-T200 and a 48-7S. Made Kerbin orbit easily. It was SRV Ron's design; he might have the pic.

Now, if you're talking about launching a full space station in one thwack, it depends on the design, as Specialist290 has indicated. Mass will be a key factor as will its structural integrity.

This was placed SSTO as a challenge on low cost satellite with a scientific instrument;

A slightly larger version with 50% more fuel orbits Mun.

You can, of course, go as big in one launch as your computer and design skills can handle. In this case, over 200 tons of payload;

So yes, you can build a 200 ton station to place in orbit in one launch as opposed to this challenge of placing five full orange fuel cans into orbit.
