This is an artist concept of the Apollo spacecraft in lunar orbit. Two of the three astronauts are shown transferring from the Command/Service Module to the Lunar Module. The Command/Service Module will remain in lunar orbit while the Lunar Module is on the surface.

Routine 24-hour flights to the Moon could employ detachable crew modules atop nuclear thermal transfer vehicles.
By transferring the module from one propulsion element to the next, the passengers could complete their trip to the lunar surface without ever leaving the module.
This image was produced for NASA by Pat Rawlings and Bill Gleason.
