What would be an appropriate name for a space station orbiting Saturn
Saturn station one. (The people who name these things are deliberately quite prosaic.)
What would be a good satellite for a settlement?
Enceladus? At least it'd have plenty of water. The settlement would have to be something like a giant ice-fishing shack sitting out on the ice.
Titan is the only moon of Saturn with an appreciable atmosphere.
You're right about Jupiter's magnetosphere. It might be possible to survive it on Callisto, but certainly not on Ganymede or anything closer. Callisto is an awfully barren old rock.
