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, meaning any orbit below could possibly encounter the surface. Due to it's small gravity landing is relatively easy, similar to Minmus. This low gravity results in it's crushed up irregular terrain. The brownish surface color may come from solid carbon or iron oxide within the harsh landscape.
Contents
Topography
Bop is mostly mountainous with very few flat surface areas. Due to a very low surface gravity. It is unable to form spherical.
A noticeable feature on Bop is a very large impact crater on one side of it.
Career Mode
Like the other Kerbol bodies, excluding the Mun and Kerbin, Bop has a single biome.

Changes
- Semi-major axis increased to prevent SOI intersection with Tylo
- Initial Release
