Bop/Data Bop is one of the five natural satellites of Jool. It seems to be a captured asteroid and has certain similarities to Gilly, another pressumed captured asteroid orbiting Eve. 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.
Reference Frames
| Time warp | Minimum Altitude |
|---|---|
| 1× | Any |
| 5× | 24 500 m |
| 10× | 24 500 m |
| 50× | 24 500 m |
| 100× | 40 000 m |
| 1 000× | 60 000 m |
| 10 000× | 80 000 m |
| 100 000× | 100 000 m |
It is unwise to orbit at an altitude of under 10 km, as you will almost always encounter a mountain.

Trivia
- In version 0.20, the overview for Bop states that in Kerbal Mythology, it is home to the Space Kraken. This is partially true, as a dead Kraken is found on Bop.
Changes
- Semi-major axis increased to prevent SOI intersection with Tylo
- Initial Release
