Alright, so basically here are the rules:​

  • Ions are forbidden (there is an Ion on the probe - DO NOT USE IT)
  • You must use the supplied probe and solar system.
  • There is a limit on how obese your rocket can be. Maximum is 865.0 Tons.
  • You must reach the required velocity at 2,000,000,000km Solar altitude: 2050m/s.
  • You may not use BP Editing to edit the powerfulness of a separator as well as side separators.
  • BP Editing is allowed as long as you are NOT using ENGINE STRETCHING.
  • Part Clipping is allowed.
  • You may only use ONE (1) Gravity Assist!
  • You may not drain fuel from the supplied probe.
  • If your entry does not comply with any of these rules, your entry will be disqualified.

Alright, lettuce get started! :p

Stay tuned!
Also, please be patient with the solar system, because the solar System I am using is too large for me the share directly.​

Let's go to Jupiter for a gravity assist!
(I picked Jupiter because it is the biggest planet and so therefore it probably has the most gravity of all the planets)

Now it's time to use Jupiter's obesity to our advantage!

Nice challenge, I gave it a try.

Here is my rocket:
Spaceflight Simulator_2023-03-06-20-16-31.jpg

First, the launch:

Then from orbit, I'll target Jupiter:

That's now I'll make my gravity assist. But unlike what you could expect, I'll make a retrograde slingshot and aim for the Sun:
Spaceflight Simulator_2023-03-06-19-57-34.jpg Spaceflight Simulator_2023-03-06-20-00-00.jpg

Now I'll burn everything I have left at the perihelion and use the massive Oberth effect from the Sun:

Ok, done. What's the objective? 2050 m/s at 2,000,000,000 kilometers? Ok.
