From 1969 to 1972, NASA sent Apollo 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 to the moon. Only in the case of Apollo 13 did the astronauts not land on the moon. After leaving the atmosphere, the rocket that carried the astronauts into space was jettisoned. The remaining spacecraft consisted of the Command Module, where the astronauts lived, the Service Module, where the gasses and fuel were stored, and the Lunar Module, the section that detached and landed on the moon. There were subtle differences between each of the Lunar Modules used on the different missions. After their time on the moon was up, the top half of the Lunar Module took them back up into space, where they docked with the Command Module and returned to Earth.
