Evpatoriya

Soviet tracking site (Soviet spelling used).

What Evpatoriya is

Evpatoriya is a crater — a circular depression, almost always an impact scar — on Mars, 1 km across, centred at 47.0° N, 134.4° E in the Cebrenia quadrangle. It is the 1902nd largest named feature on Mars and the 1218th largest of its class there.

Where the name comes from

Soviet tracking site (Soviet spelling used). The International Astronomical Union approved the name in 1979, under the theme it applies to every crater on Mars. Of the 1237 features of this class catalogued on Mars, the naming categories run United States (137), Russia (110), American (62), Great Britain (52).

What it would take to settle Evpatoriya

Mars scores 26.6 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 47.0° N, 134.4° E.

What this spot has going for it is known ground 41 km from Viking 2 (1976). What works against it is ground mixed ground — a rim, a floor and slopes between them.

Computed from Evpatoriya's catalogued latitude, longitude and feature class — 74% of the model's weight had a basis here, and 2 axes were dropped as not applicable to Mars (radiation geometry, earth link). Gravity, pressure, delta-v and distance from the Sun are the same everywhere on Mars 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.
