I've put together the stats for the Terra system as they stood in 1106 as harvested from 'Book 6: Scouts' and the 'Solomani and Aslan' sourcebook. I also added stats for Eris, though not Ceres for a variety of reason. Some things stand out.
1. You'd expect the colony on Mars to be larger, frankly. Yes, there are terraforming efforts underway according to some Traveller write ups, but that would make it gradually easier to colonize and more desirable to populate.
2. Ganymede has a military base and a class F spaceport. Really, that should be at Callisto, since the radiation at Ganymede (and Io and Europa) is just too high as probes sent since the 1970s have proven out. Flipping their stats would seem prudent, though clearly any research lab at Ganymede would need special shielding and would probably be concerned with the interaction of the magnetic fields of Ganymede and Jupiter along with perhaps radiation mediation (e.g. better nuclear dampers).
3. Even in 57th century, helium-3 would be a desirable commodity, so one would expect that Saturn would have substantial colonies on more than one of its moons, which unlike many of Jupiter's moons would be free of intense radiation. Indeed, it would be possible to have floating colonies in Saturn's upper atmosphere dedicated to gathering helium-3 or simply places where the quirky, outcasts, and loners can live truly "getting away from it all".
4. Similarly, helium-3 mining operations would be taking place at Uranus and Neptune, though because of the distances, the colonies there would be small and the mining operations largely robotic in nature.
5. I was never totally satisfied with DGP's description of Earth, particularly the rise in sea levels, not that global warming isn't a thing, but the introduction of fusion power plants (likely within our lifetimes no less according to the Traveller timeline) would pretty much halt sea level rise and in the intervening 3,600 years new technologies and environmental management techniques would mean that the polar caps would either have been restored or never have melted completely away to begin with.
My plan to do a new write up of the Terra system with some revisions to the background and advancing the storyline up to 1202 or so. Let me know if you have additional input or additional sources I should be checking.
