Exterior Docking Hangar

Exterior Docking Hangar is an area in the Frigate Orpheon in Metroid Prime. It is the first place in the game, where Samus lands her gunship. To proceed into the frigate, the player must deactivate two force fields by shooting a number of switches. The second set must first be activated by scanning a panel.

At the end of the escape sequence caused by the destruction of the Parasite Queen, Ridley is seen at the hangar; Samus attempts to follow him in her gunship and lands on the nearby planet, Tallon IV.
