STRUCTURE

Folder "CET"

-> It includes the georeferenced tiff files and layer package of the cumulative ejecta model (CET).

Folder "Craters"

-> Folder "GIS" - It includes the shapefiles and ArcGIS Pro layerfiles of the mapped craters (plus the additional potential craters, discussed and shown in the supplementary information).

-> Includes the Excel files, containing the calculations behind the stratigraphic excavation model.

Folder "Regolith_Composition"

-> It includes the georeferenced tiff files and layer package of the regolith composition map.

-> Table including the pixel counts for the regolith composition within the candidate landing regions
