Hestia Rupes
What Hestia Rupes is
Hestia Rupes is a rupes — a scarp or cliff — on Venus, 588 km across, centred at 6.0° N, 71.1° E in the Hestia Rupes quadrangle. It is the 340th largest named feature on Venus and the 6th largest of its class there.
Where the name comes from
Greek hearth goddess. The International Astronomical Union approved the name in 1982, under the theme it applies to every rupes on Venus. Of the 7 features of this class catalogued on Venus, the naming categories run Lithuania (2), Roman (2), Caucasus (1), Turkmenistan (1).
What it would take to settle Hestia Rupes
Venus scores 43 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 6.0° N, 71.1° E.
What this spot has going for it is sunlight — 99% of the sunlight the sunniest latitude on Venus gets. What works against it is water — same as everywhere else on this world.
Computed from Hestia Rupes'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 Venus (radiation geometry, earth link). Gravity, pressure, delta-v and distance from the Sun are the same everywhere on Venus 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.
