CDP11-MB

(Seargeant Ambercromby) Capt. Apollo is piloting a shuttle craft on his way to space station Klingon. Just as he is about to maneuver to dock his craft using the hydrazine system discussed in Example 11-3, the shuttle craft thrusters do not respond properly and it crashes into the station killing Capt. Apollo. An investigation revealed that Lt. Darkside prepared the packed beds used to maneuver the shuttle and Lt. Darkside prepared the hydrazine-helium gas mixture. Foul play is suspected and Sgt. Ambercromby arrives on the scene to investigate.

  1. What are the first three questions he asks?

  2. Make a list of possible explanations for the crash, supporting each one by an equation or reason.
