By selecting this it transfers the ship inside the internal hangar. To exit a hangar simply select Launch. The station grants permission to exit and undock. The docking clamps are disabled and the ship is released. Large settlements have hangars for SRVs.

Services

Some services are only available while your ship is inside a hangar. You can disembark inside the hangar to walk around to inspect the ship or towards to Express Lift which lead to the Concourse. The station, carrier or settlement will have specific services such as Universal Cartographics, Shipyard, Commodities Market, Mission Board, Contacts, Crew Lounge, local news and ship services.
