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 presumed 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 its small gravity, landing is relatively easy, similar to Minmus. This low gravity results in its crushed up irregular terrain. The brownish surface color may come from solid carbon or iron oxide within the harsh landscape.

Topography

Bop is mostly mountainous with very few flat surface areas. Due to a very low surface gravity, it is unable to form a sphere. A noticeable feature on Bop is a very large impact crater on one side of it. The highest point on Bop is an astounding 21.755 m, marking the highest point above ASL in the Kerbol System. The point lies at 23,87° W and 64,57° N.

Like the other Kerbol bodies, excluding Minmus, the Mun, and Kerbin, Bop is a single biome.
