Possible Use Cases

##Launch a satellite network

Launching a network of small satellites was never easier: just pack them into an in-line hangar, build a ship around it and launch. In orbit launch a satellite, change its orbit as desired; repeat. The benefit of this solution is that your satellites may be as small and simple as possible, carrying just enough fuel for orbit correction. No struts, no complex carrier designs. Just one hangar.

##Orbital station

If you're planning to build a station that acts as a hub for many small operations, a big hangar (or even the Spaceport) is a good choice to include in this plan.

###Docks for smaller ships

With a hangar you can spare the station a dozen of docking ports, not to mention the headache of frequent docking maneuvers. It also enables you to store rarely used ships clearing the orbit.

###Fast crew transfer with orbit-to-orbit shuttles

One station is not enough? Then include a hangar into each of your stations and crew transfers between them become fast and easy. Just use the simplest shuttles with enough fuel to go from one to another and refill them after the trip.

##Exploration ship

What is better for science: a series of unmanned probes, or a full-scale mission carrying light scouts and landers packed with scientific equipment, that is able to process all the data on site? If you prefer the latter, use a hangar. It will automatically balance the payload and provide the ease of refilling of scientific vessels.

##Bringing a rover to the moon or other planet

If you want to get your rovers to other planet or moon easily, without complex vessel designs for its transportation, use Rover Lander. Bring it with you, as a part of a ship with a rover in its belly. Undock it, and... land! Just like that.

##Rover storage for colony

When establishing a colony rovers are often needed. They help to find a good spot, move colony modules around, tug a not-so-perfectly landed supply ship... But as colony grows and matures they become less and less used. Some of them may be disassembled for spare parts, but some are better to have around that one time when something suddenly goes wrong. To preserve them better while clearing the area use ground hangar, so when the need arise they were filled, fixed and fully operational.
