Essentially two. The first is the CSM, or the Command Service Module, which was actually a stack of two components, the Command Module and the Service Module (the SM held all the technical and life-support systems and was not available for human occupation). The other was the LM, or Lunar Module, which is the spacecraft that ferried two of the crew down to the moon's surface and back.
Once the crew was back aboard the CSM after their mission the LM was jettisoned and allowed to crash into the moon. When the crew was back in orbit around the Earth, the Service Module portion of the CSM stack was jettisoned, exposing the heat shield on the Command Module. The SMs burned up in the Earth's atmosphere while the CMs transported the crew back to the Earth safely.
The spacecraft used to land on the moon by man was the lunar module. The Eagle!

Yes, astronauts can visit the moon at any phase of the lunar cycle. The visibility of the moon's surface features may vary depending on the phase, but this does not prevent astronauts from landing or exploring the moon.
