The Apollo 13 service module experienced an explosion of the oxygen tank 2 about 200,000 miles from earth. Some people think the explosion happened because the O2 tank was dropped, which broke the internal filler tube, but the real reason for the explosion was pure stupidity.
The real reason for the Apollo 13 oxygen tank explosion was due to Beach Aerospace not upgrading the O2 tank thermostat from a 28v system to a 65v system. After the investigation it was discovered that Beech Aerospace never bothered to read the new specs for the Apollo spacecraft, that required an increased voltage system from a standard military 28v system to a 65v system. As soon as the electronics were started for Apollo 13 on the pad, the thermostat fused together allowing the O2 tank pressure to build, the internal tank temp shot up to 1,000f degrees, but the temp gauge in the spacecraft only went up to 85 degrees F, so the crew didn't know there was a problem until the O2 tank was stirred, thereby exploding and disabling the entire service module.

2 What were the three parts of the Apollo 11 spacecraft?
Service Module, Command Module, Lunar Module.
What is the difference between the command service module and the lunar module?
The command service module , orbited the moon, in Apollo 11 it was Michael Collins, who did experiments, while the lunar module landed on the moon. With the two astronauts.
What are the three modules in the Apollo spacecraft?
The Apollo spacecraft has three modules the Service module, the command module and the lunar module.
What was on the Apollo 13?
Oxygen, from the Service Module.
What was venting on the Apollo 13?
Oxygen, from the Service Module.
What was left of the Apollo 11 after the mission?
The Apollo 11 spacecraft consisted of three main components: the command module, the service module, and the lunar module. The command module (Columbia) returned safely to Earth with the astronauts, while the service module remained in space and eventually burned up upon reentry. The lunar module (Eagle) was left on the moon's surface after the astronauts departed in the command module.
What happened to Apollo 13's Service Module?
I was wondering the same thing - lots of detail about the other pieces of the spacecraft but nothing about the service module. I was wondering the same thing - lots of detail about the other pieces of the spacecraft but nothing about the service module.

What are the three parts of the Apollo spacecraft?
Oh, dude, the Apollo spacecraft has three main parts: the command module, the service module, and the lunar module. The command module is where the astronauts hang out, the service module has all the boring stuff like engines and fuel, and the lunar module is the cool one that lands on the moon. So, like, those are the three parts you gotta know about.
Is Lunar Spacecraft capitalized?
The proper names of the Apollo Program's spacecraft, and as such should be capitalized, are: Apollo Command Module (abbreviated CM) Apollo Service Module (abbreviated SM) Apollo Lunar Module (abbreviated LM) Note that when the CM and SM are joined, they become a single spacecraft known as the Apollo Command/Service Module, or CSM.
What is a csm?
Without the "Space Travel and Exploration" context I'd have said "Customer Service Manager".However, in this particular category, it probably means "Command/Service Module", the portion of the Apollo spacecraft that returned to Earth orbit from the Moon. (The Service Module was the "rocket" part that was discarded and burned up; the Command Module is the cone-shaped part the astronauts were in that actually landed.)
