The Apollo 13 lunar module, named Aquarius, was intentionally jettisoned into space after the mission's failure to land on the Moon. It re-entered Earth's atmosphere and ultimately fell into the Pacific Ocean, where it sank. Its exact location on the ocean floor remains unknown, as it was never recovered.
The lunar module aboard Apollo 13 was named Aquarius.
The Apollo 13 Command Module was 'Odyssey' . Aquarius was the Lunar lander.
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.
The lunar module pilot on Apollo 13 was Astronaut Fred Haise, Jr. Apollo 13 lifted off on April 11, 1970 and returned on April 17, 1970. The crew spent time in the lunar module due to the oxygen vent not working.
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'.

lunar module
The command module was named "Odyssey", and the Lunar Module "Aquarius."
Apollo 13 was the spacecraft that had an oxygen tank explosion, not the lunar module that landed on the moon. The lunar module that landed on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission was called the Eagle, piloted by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
Apollo 13 got back to Earth by using the Lunar Module as a lifeboat after an oxygen tank explosion in the Service Module. The crew used the Lunar Module's descent engine to adjust their return trajectory, allowing them to slingshot around the moon and back towards Earth for a successful re-entry.
