> Magnetosphere of planet like Jupiter or Saturn

I thought Saturn was mostly benign. My hope was that a magnetosphere would protect the moons from the early outbursts of the red dwarf.

> Also energies (delta V) needed to travel between Jupiter moons

That's surprising. Found this nice map [1] and the numbers are really disappointing. ~15 kps from Titan-to-Iapetus sucks (even though it's ~4 kps less than Earth-to-Mars). At least the distances are smaller...
