The Apollo 13 Command Module was 'Odyssey' . Aquarius was the Lunar lander.
No, the Apollo 13 lunar lander, known as the Lunar Module (LM) named "Aquarius," is not still in space. After the mission was aborted due to an in-flight emergency, the Lunar Module was jettisoned and ultimately crashed into the Moon's surface. The command module, "Odyssey," returned safely to Earth with the crew.
The lunar module aboard Apollo 13 was named Aquarius.
The Apollo 13 mission did not land on the Moon due to an oxygen tank explosion that caused critical system failures. As a result, the lunar lander was used as a lifeboat to return the crew safely to Earth. It was jettisoned before reentry and burned up in the Earth's atmosphere.
The name of the LEM (Lunar excursion model) was Aquarius (:

The LEM on Apollo 13 was named 'Aquarius'. This did not land on the moon as planned, but enabled the astronauts to survive, and was used as a 'lifeboat'.
Houston told Apollo 13 to shut down the command module and transfer the astronauts to the lunar module, as the command module's oxygen supply was compromised. They were also instructed to make the safest possible reentry into Earth's atmosphere.
The command module was named "Odyssey", and the Lunar Module "Aquarius."
Every Apollo mission had astronauts walking on the moon.
