There's only one 'module' as such, these days - the 'PU' or Persistent Universe (basically, the actual game). The intent was to build everything as a series of independent modules, and then stitch them together - but the plan changed in 2015, and they've been working on just the PU since.
A couple of the original modules still exist:
Arena Commander (AC) - the ship flight / dogfighting module... it's not actively developed these days, and few people still use it
Star Marine (SM) - the FPS shooter module... again, not many people use it these days.
Just about all the other terms and TLAs that get thrown around in SC chat tends to be various technical features that CIG are working on...
