Could a Spaceship Enter/Exit the Atmosphere Without Landing

Would it be possible for a spaceship of some sort to descend from space and through the atmosphere of an Earth-like planet, not land, then turn around and head back into space? In other words, could it move freely between space and the Earth-like planet's atmosphere without the inconvenience of having to land?

As far as I'm aware, no such technology as would be required for such a maneuver has been invented by humans. So I'm wondering: if this is possible at all, exactly what technology would be required?
