A shuttlepod connected to Enterprise's docking arm.

A docking arm was a large magnetic extension built into the launch bay of an NX Class starship. The arm was used in docking procedures, such as a shuttlepod landing or departure. Officers aboard the vessel were able to remotely deploy the docking arm from the starship's bridge.
