Docking rings are a entry and exit point of planetary space lift.

Description

Planet Cambridge docking ring
Planet Cambridge mooring fixture

Orbiting planetary docking rings provide smaller ships a controlled entry and exit to/from planet's atmosphere. Docking rings open up when docking sequence is initiated. Their appearance is a lot like goggles. The ring on the right serves planet-bound traffic and the left ring traffic coming from the planet to outer space.

Mooring Fixture

Capital size ships are to big to use docking rings so they need to use mooring fixture.
