<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Earth Station McKinley''', or '''McKinley Station''', is a [[Starfleet]] facility in [[Earth]] orbit, designed for starship construction and repair. The station is able accommodate vessels at least as large as the [[Galaxy class]]. The same basic drydock design was also employed at [[Starbase 234]] and [[Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards]]. <br />
<br />
Earth Station McKinley is a large orbital platform supporting several large articulated work arms. It serves as a mobile starship construction and repair station, located in high orbit around Earth. Unlike [[Spacedock One]] and the [[San Francisco Fleet Yards]], which are in stationary orbits, Earth Station McKinley is capable of greater movement, using built-in impulse drive systems to change its orbit as needed. This allows the station to rendezvous with starships in need of repair.<br />
<br />
The station is also used to assemble new starships, as a supplement to the facilities found at the [[San Francisco Fleet Yards]]. Unfortunately, visitors to Earth must content themselves with an exterior view of Earth Station McKinley; it is restricted to Starfleet personnel.<br />
<br />
==Notable Historical Events==<br />
The U.S.S. ''Enterprise''-D was transferred to McKinley Station shortly after its launch in 2364, before it departed for [[Farpoint Station]]. [[Captain]] Jean-Luc Picard took command of the ship while it was docked at the station. <br />
<br />
In 2367, the ''Enterprise''-D underwent a major refit at McKinley Station in order to repair damage suffered following the [[Borg]] incursion. The refit was estimated to last six weeks. Several systems were upgraded, including the ship's [[Phaser technology|phasers]] and [[warp core]], which received a new [[dilithium]] chamber hatch. An undetected defect in the hatch caused an explosion later that year, initially blamed on joint [[Romulan]]/[[Klingon]] sabotage.<br />
<br />
In 2377, the U.S.S. ''Voyager'' received pictures of [[Earth]] from this vantage point courtesy of a transmission set up by [[Lieutenant]] Reginald Barclay at [[Starfleet]] Communications.<br />
