Misr Sulci
What Misr Sulci is
Misr Sulci is a sulcus — a set of parallel grooves and ridges — on Enceladus, 110 km across, centred at 18.0° N, 160.3° E. It is the 24th largest named feature on Enceladus and the 16th largest of its class there.
Where the name comes from
City in the tale "History of Al-Hajjaj Bin Yusuf and the Young Sayyid." The International Astronomical Union approved the name in 2010, under the theme it applies to every sulcus on Enceladus.
What it would take to settle Misr Sulci
Enceladus scores 54.8 as a world. That number is the same for every square metre of it — but sunlight, water, radiation and the ground under your feet are not. This is the same question asked at 18.0° N, 160.3° E.
What this spot has going for it is sunlight — 95% of the sunlight the sunniest latitude on Enceladus gets. What works against it is temperature — about -194 °C mean at this latitude.
Computed from Misr Sulci's catalogued latitude, longitude and feature class — 68% of the model's weight had a basis here, and 3 axes were dropped as not applicable to Enceladus (radiation geometry, earth link, known ground). Gravity, pressure, delta-v and distance from the Sun are the same everywhere on Enceladus and are already counted in the world's own index, not again here.
What this cannot see: elevation. Slope, local shadowing and the polar “peaks of eternal light” — ridge tops near the poles of a barely tilted world that catch sun almost continuously while a crater floor kilometres away never does — need a terrain model this does not have. Where a real mission targets a pole, that is usually why.
