SSTO No Refueling Challenge


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has been done before but I haven't seen it.

The Challenge:

Build an SSTO that can land and take off from the pad or runway at KSC.

Make it into at a minimum 75kmx75km orbit as many times as you can without refueling.

You MUST land and takeoff from the pad or runway at KSC.

This is primarily meant to be a "stock parts" challenge but we can add FAR, Interstellar, and other categories as needed.

The Rules:

No dev console or ridiculous parts clipping.

This is an SSTO challenge, no adding or removing of parts. The vehicle must be identical at the end as it was at the beginning (except for fuel of course).

Balanced mods only. Mechjeb and such are fine...

Pics with the resources tab open at the beginning on the ground, with your 1st orbit established, and back on the ground for each orbit cycle.

The winner will be the one who can get into orbit, and back, the most times without refueling.

Here's my entry, "Spunky 3 Sabre". Made it to orbit and back twice without refueling. There is a very small chance that someone with better skills than I could take this ship to 3 orbit cycles.
