Notes. Values of norite and ordinary chondrite material properties were adopted from the models in Ren et al. (2024b) and Delbo et al. (2014), respectively. Characteristic values F0, F0, and F0,D are intermediate factors that serve the regolith production rate calculations, and their definitions are given in Sects. 3.3 and 4.
