Best Answer

On the Apollo lunar missions, the Lunar Module (a separate vehicle) left the Apollo spacecraft orbiting the moon and landed. The upper half of the Lunar Module had a rocket engine capable of launching it back into orbit where it again joined the Apollo spacecraft. The crew then reentered the Apollo for their return to Earth.
