Vall is one of the five natural satellites of Jool. It has an icy surface which is somewhat hilly, ranging in elevation from 0 m to over 2114 m. Like the other large Joolian moons, Vall is tidally locked. Synchronus orbits around Vall are not possible, as they would lie outside of its SOI.

Landing on Vall and returning is significantly more challenging than the Mün. It lacks atmosphere but has a higher gravity and more uneven terrain, so a larger rocket is required.
