Aerobraking in Jool's atmosphere.

Although Jool has a radius ten times greater than Kerbin, its atmosphere begins just twice as high (138.2 km). It is extremely dense, well suited for aerobraking from a high-speed interplanetary intercept. Orbiting just outside the atmosphere will give you a period of 94.7437 minutes, and a speed of 6,785 m/s. You typically do not need to go lower than 100 km to aerobrake.

In general, the atmospheric pressure on Jool at an altitude expressed in meters is:

${\displaystyle p_{j}=15\ e^{-altitude/10000}}$

The effects of landing on Jool's "surface" as a Kerbonaut

Closer to the surface, the physics of the game start to break down. Due to its extremely thick atmosphere, terminal velocity is so low that lighter spacecraft will not even need parachutes or retrorockets. It is not impossible to land on its solid surface, though spacecraft are inevitably and invariably devoured by the Kraken. If the craft is very small, it may survive the Kraken, but the parts will explode once they are 100m below the surface. The message "... collided with Cloud" will display in the mission summary.

If a Kerbonaut is put on EVA he will not be destroyed, making one-way sacrificial landings possible. However, as seen near the end of this video, the Kerbonaut will start to glitch out and shake uncontrollably. This only happens if you're on time warp 4. The game will later glitch and cut to a black screen with the altimeter going through numbers rapidly. Unless you restart the game, Kerbin's atmosphere will be missing.

The ocean moon 레이스, about to transit Jool.

줄은 다섯 개의 위성이 있고, 줄의 궤도면과 잘 정렬된 궤도에 각각 존재합니다:

• 레이스, 바다의 위성, 대기권이 있는 유일한 위성입니다 . 레이스는 줄에 가장 가까운 위성이며, 두번째로 큰 위성입니다. 레이스의 높은 궤도 속도에 도달하기 위하여 다소 도전이 될 수 있습니다. 이브와 함께, 그 크기와 구성은 커빈과 가장 유사한 천체입니다.커빈.
• 볼,얼음 달. 세 번째로 큰 위성이며 줄에게 두 번째로 가장 가까운 위성입니다 . 그것의 궤도 경로와 속도는 레이스 및 타일로 사이에 거의 정확하게 존재합니다.
• 타일로, a rocky moon, has gravity similar to 커빈 and terrain similar to Kerbin's 문. It has the largest SOI of Jool's moons, making it easy to encounter, but achieving orbit and landing are exceptionally difficult due to its large gravity well and lack of atmosphere.
• 밥, a captured asteroid, is the fourth largest of Jool's moons. Due to its distant, erratic orbit and low gravity, it is also challenging to reach.
• 폴, named after a Pollen grain which it resembles, is Jool's smallest and most distant moon. It is yellow and green, and its terrain is rocky and uneven, with tall, spiky mountains.

Laythe, Vall, and Tylo are in a Laplace resonance, with orbital periods of 1:2:4 respectively. Despite the fact that the moons can easily eclipse both each other and Jool, they do not.

Synchronous Orbits around any of the Joolian moons are impossible, as they all lie outside the Sphere of Influence of the moons, as is common with tidally locked bodies.
