There are many reasons that is why it is a multi purpose vehicle.
The command module is called Orion.
The Apollo Lunar Module was designed to transport astronauts from lunar orbit to the moon's surface and back. It served as the "landing craft" for the Apollo missions, providing a safe way for astronauts to land on the moon, explore its surface, and then return to the Command Module in lunar orbit.
They were just not built to do it... too heavy, no legs, etc. Command Modules do not land on the moon. The command module is the main capsule for the Apollo program. The lunar module of Apollo 11 however did land on the moon on the 21st of July 1969.
The eagle was the lunar module that carried astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin to the surface of the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. Its purpose was to safely land on the moon, allow the astronauts to conduct their mission, and then return them to the command module orbiting above.
The landing module was the Eagle. The command module was the Colombia.
The command module for Apollo 13 was called Aquarius. The lunar module was called Aquarius.
The Command Module was called Columbia ( the lunar module was named Eagle.)
The command module of the Apollo 11 mission was named "Columbia."
The Apollo 13 Command Module was 'Odyssey' . Aquarius was the Lunar lander.
There was two parts, the command module and the lunar module. The command module was used to take them to Lunar orbit, and then the Lunar module was used to land them on the Moon. The Lunar module then lifted the astronauts off the Moon and into Lunar orbit. They then docked with the command module and then got rid of the lunar module. Then the final trip home, they were safely inside the command module.
The cast of Orion Command - 2012 includes: Andrew Despain as Captain Landrunner Wendy Despain as Queen Vamprilla
The two main parts of the Apollo 13 spacecraft were the Command Module (nicknamed "Odyssey") and the Lunar Module (nicknamed "Aquarius"). The Command Module was used for reentry into Earth's atmosphere, while the Lunar Module was used as a lifeboat after an oxygen tank explosion damaged the Command Module.
