Pan Mensa
What Pan Mensa is
Pan Mensa is a mensa — a flat-topped elevation with cliff-like edges — on Io, 288 km across, centred at 51.8° S, 30.9° W. It is the 40th largest named feature on Io and the 4th largest of its class there.
Where the name comes from
Father of Iynx. The International Astronomical Union approved the name in 1985, under the theme it applies to every mensa on Io. Of the 9 features of this class catalogued on Io, the naming categories run Greek (7), India (1), Italy (1).
What it would take to settle Pan Mensa
Io scores 76.7 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 51.8° S, 30.9° W.
What this spot has going for it is ground — mixed ground — a rim, a floor and slopes between them. What works against it is water — same as everywhere else on this world.
Computed from Pan Mensa's catalogued latitude, longitude and feature class — 84% of the model's weight had a basis here, and 2 axes were dropped as not applicable to Io (earth link, known ground). Gravity, pressure, delta-v and distance from the Sun are the same everywhere on Io 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.
