AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -To save themselves, the astronauts had to somehow attach a square CO2 scrubber to the circular opening of the lunar module’s filtration system. The ground team designed an adapter from the limited items on board, including hoses from spacesuits, tube socks, and duct tape.

Detailed explanation-2: -A while ago I said that Apollo 13 had a problem with carbon dioxide. The problem was that the lunar module did not have adequate absorber containers to cope with the three astronauts now seeking refuge in it. The lunar module had only enough absorber containers to cope with 2 astronauts for about 2 days.

Detailed explanation-3: -Apollo 13’s cold, miserable trip home The crew had to balance the challenge of getting home with the challenge of preserving power on Aquarius. After they performed a crucial burn to point the spacecraft back towards Earth, the crew powered down every nonessential system in the spacecraft.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first problem was carbon dioxide removal. The second problem was how long was it going to take because we had limited battery power and water inside the lunar module.
