Reach orbit

[Vi...]

You can use anything to reach orbit but you cannot you any engine or fuel tank.
Only no gravity cheat is allowed.

 

[Altaïr]

But how are you supposed to orbit if there's no gravity?

You can, orbit keeps raising if there is no gravity .
But drag is the problem, if you go out of earth's atmosphere you can easily orbit

More to the point, have you done this challenge already?

Yes, and I am writing about bp editing before you replied

 

[Vi...]

You can edit bp but not quick save

Are you sure about that? You can get into space without gravity, but orbiting requires gravity.
If you need proof, turn off gravity and then switch to something already in orbit somewhere. It will stop going around in a circle and continue on in a straight line.

This challenge is pretty easy anyway. You just need a probe core and a shitload of big separators.

You know one of the best technique but nothing happens in zero gravity. And I have turned zero gravity on but nothing happened to my rockets

Did you watch them on the map screen? You'll see the projected orbital path changing as its speed and direction remain constant. It's actually a really good way to accidentally de-orbit something.

Separators to Orbit
is that count as SSTO or fully fueled Separators
:3 :3

 

[Horus Lupercal]

is that count as SSTO

Nah, cos you're not using a single stage. You're using a shitload of stages

The no gravity cheat only applies to the rocket you control, and those who are in a radius of 5 km or less. Other rockets won't be affected.

On the rest Horus is right, that's what I meant too. When under "no gravity", a ship moves in a straight line. The game still shows an orbit, but this orbit is calculated by taking gravity into account, so it's irrelevant in this case. That's also why the displayed orbit magically changes without any action from you. Your object doesn't actually orbit, it simply travels in a straight line.

Actually, your challenge consists rather in "making the game display an orbit", but because the cheat breaks the physics, it's not actually orbiting. Now if you find it fun this is your right to post such a challenge, it's just that the term is confusing.

Maybe Stef changed something in 1.5?
From my experience just now, stuff that is already in orbit will remain in the same orbit despite 0-G. Like it's on rails.

I just tested, you're right! The no gravity magic stops as soon as the object is in orbit (when the periapsis reaches Karman line). To my knowledge that's new indeed, though I can't be sure as no gravity is usually against my religion

He is right.

 

[Chara-cter]

It's still an "SSTO"
Shitload of Stages To Orbit

 

[TtTOtW]

This... Is really new...

 

[Marmilo]

Acarii drive?

 

[AstroThis]

That's stranger than my Moon Tour

 

[TtTOtW]

That's stranger than my Moon Tour

It's from a whole different frame of mind.

 

[Pink]

I think we can use "magnets" made from doc ports

I believe that's an 'Acarii Drive'

finally someone got it right :3 :3 :3

i found a video in ksp where he used only the decouplers to reach orbit.........

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

He is right. View attachment 41839

you did it right

 

[Horus Lupercal]

Someone did this challenge in KSP...

Like I said, a probe and an absolute shitload of separators...

how to launch kerbals to orbit without rocket propulsion (maybe nuke propulsion??)
