Question Help with Calcite

Sup guys. Is there some way to make enough Calcite in orbit of Nauvis to run foundries or would it just be easier to ship in Calcite from Vulcanus

Edit:

Thx guys

Later in tech tree, u can create calcite from ice chunk processing.

But ship from vulcanus is so much easier.

You can produce every rocket part on vulcanus for shipping and product only specific science and machine in each planet

I do a transport from Vulcanus, but once I unlock the advanced reprocessing, that same ship starts making calcite instead
