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 is likely to encounter the surface. The brownish color may come from solid carbon or iron oxide.

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
