space dock
Spacecraft mooring station
Space dock is a facility for servicing spacecraft, analogous to a dry dock for ships—a place where vessels are repaired, refueled, or constructed.
The term appears frequently in science fiction: The Enterprise returned to space dock for repairs.
In vulgar slang, space docking refers to a sexual act involving the transfer of feces between anuses.
