Thermite Thermal Propulsion (TTP) is a form of propulsion similar to nuclear thermal. However, instead of using a nuclear generator to supply heat, the thermite reaction is used. The Thermite reaction is as follows:<br />
<code>'''3'''Fe3O2+'''2'''Al=>'''3'''Fe+'''2'''Al2O3</code><br />
The thermite reaction needs temperatures of 600 deg. C to start, and puts out over 2500 deg C. <br />
<br />
This is beneficial on mars because it is covered in rust, and there is a large amount of aluminum as well. <br />
