Shuttlebay

The shuttlebay (also called a hanger deck, launch bay or landing bay) is an area on a starship, space station or planetary facility where auxiliary craft can be stored and maintained for operations off the vessel or station.
On facilities in space, when not launching or receiving craft the space doors for a shuttlebay are usually closed. When they are opened a force field is deployed over the opening, which can be penetrated by shuttles as the launch and are recovered without compromising the atmosphere within the bay itself.
