Step by step solution

01

Reading the book

As a first step, read the book 'Apollo 13'. Pay specific attention to the parts that discuss the Apollo 13 spacecraft. Take comprehensive notes on what the book says about the power sources used in the spacecraft.
02

Extract information

Next, go through your notes and highlight or underline the relevant information about the power sources used in the spacecraft. This information may include the types of power sources, their roles, how they functioned, and any problem/error associated with them that may have been documented.
03

Summarise findings

Once you have all the relevant details, you can summarize the information about the power sources. Always include a brief description as well as their importance and role in the spacecraft. Don't forget to mention any problem or fault associated with these power systems if any was mentioned in the book
04

Report

Finally, put together the report on the Apollo 13’s power sources. Make sure the report is clearly structured, logical and easy to follow. It would be helpful to use headings and subheadings for different types of power sources and their characteristics.
