The word 'command module' used twice in the given passage indicates perhaps that it deals with a journey into outer space.
Command module refers to the portion of the control center and living quarters for the astronauts. They operate controls during a fight and communicate to the ground station. Hence, the passage talks about the fight in the outer space, which is depicted in the line, "fleeting but spectacular sights snapped into and out of view, the snow, the shower of debris, the moon, looming close and big, the dazzling sunshine for once unfiltered by layers of air."
Command module here probably suggests the area that the people probably spend most of their time and where all the commands are located.
The command module has all the machinery controls and is used to control the machine.
In cases of emergency, people tend to move their as it is also the safest place.
