Question

a local shows where a prov apollo 13 service module. the oxygen tank was critical because it supplied astronauts with oxygen to breathe. the oxygen tank also supplied the fuel cells, which used oxygen to generate electricity for the spacecraft. the explosion of the oxygen tank during the apollo 13 mission caused many problems. select the two problems that needed to be solved immediately. the crew might run out of oxygen to breathe before they could return to earth. parts of the service module might have to be redesigned, and nasa did not know how much the redesign would cost. the spacecraft might not have enough power to keep all its systems running and return to earth. the oxygen tanks on service modules in future missions might also explode.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The oxygen tank was crucial for breathing oxygen and power generation. An explosion would immediately threaten oxygen supply (crew's survival) and power (system operation and return). Redesign cost (long - term planning) and future mission risks (prevention, not immediate) are not urgent.

Answer:

  • The crew might run out of oxygen to breathe before they could return to Earth.
  • The spacecraft might not have enough power to keep all its systems running and return to Earth.
