Musa
What Musa is
Musa is a crater — a circular depression, almost always an impact scar — on Enceladus, 21.8 km across, centred at 73.8° N, 11.6° W. It is the 40th largest named feature on Enceladus and the 8th largest of its class there.
Where the name comes from
Goes to get the vessels that contain Jinni in "The City of Brass". The International Astronomical Union approved the name in 1982, under the theme it applies to every crater on Enceladus.
What it would take to settle Musa
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 73.8° N, 11.6° W.
What this spot has going for it is water — same as everywhere else on this world. What works against it is sunlight — 28% of the sunlight the sunniest latitude on Enceladus gets.
Computed from Musa'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.
