What's the heaviest ascent stage you've landed on another planet?

All,

I totally misread the question.

My heaviest Eve ascent stage was 52 tonnes on the surface. What actually wound up in orbit would've been well under 1 tonne.

The largest mass I put into Eve Orbit from the surface would be about 2.5 tonnes using a kraken drive infiniglider.

Sorry for the confusion!

Hm, depending on how the question is understood, I have two answers

The heaviest on launch was the Laythe ascent stage from my Jool-5 tour at a bit over 20 tons.

The largest mass to orbit was this thingy after visiting Ike, as it's actually a repurposed, refueled Duna lander and had plenty of leftover fuel. I think it massed about 10 tons after the ascent.
