Jupiter, or GOL on the NaviComp, is the largest planet in the game. It has a deep, golden-colored atmosphere, and atmospheric entry is difficult due to the depth of the atmosphere and size of the planet, but still possible. Successful entry will result in a splash-down into a gray ocean. The planet seems to have on sudden atmosphere cutoff, like HOM. GOL, along with ENC and PUR (not counting fuel-saving techniques), are the only planets not officially visited by a Career Mission.

From GOL (+19) you can only reach BLU (755).

Trivia

• GOL's atmosphere is the thickest among all of the planets.
• GOL is the only planet located in the bottom left quadrant.
• GOL seems to be the game's analogue of Jupiter.
• A geometric positioning experiment conducted by 2020dragons revealed that GOL's radius is 9 NaviComp units (excluding the atmosphere) and not 4.5 as originally reported.
• GOL's atmosphere extends 4 NaviComp units above the surface.
• GOL's circle of influence is 37 NaviComp units, with 24 NaviComp units between the atmosphere and the edge of the COI.
• GOL's counterpart in Space Agency 2138 may be Golgon, as the two planets share the first three letters of their names.
• Studies by the 3AP agency's probe GOLEx, which used pixel movement to measure the rotation of GOL's atmosphere, suggest that the planet rotates in a clockwise direction, and rotates fast.  
  • The probe recently carried out Length of Day studies on GOL and based on a circumference of roughly 18.9 units, it is believe that GOL's rotation is roughly 19 seconds.

Once the Parachute Deploys, It slows down the module to 16m/s.

Once Splashing Down, It will Stay Afloat with the help of Airbags.

Entry is the Most Crucial Part on Jupiter. Thrusters must Guide the Spacecraft so it dosen't explode.
