Bop/Data

Bop is one of the five natural satellites of Jool. It is very similar to Gilly. Bop has a large crater with a white rim. Some of its mountains rise nearly 22 km above the surface. The brownish color may come from solid carbon, or iron oxide.

Easter Eggs

A dead Space Kraken is located on Bop.

Topography

Bop is mostly mountainous with few flat surface areas.

A noticeable feature on Bop is a very large impact crater on one side of it.

It is unwise to orbit at an altitude of under 10 km, as you will almost always encounter a mountain.
