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
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.
