Launching bay

The launching bay was a area of the Ark.

The bay was used to eject waste matter into space, such as bodies. The intended punishment for the First Doctor, Steven Taylor and Dodo Chaplet at their trial, was to be ejected from the bay, into space.

The body of a Monoid was ejected into space after it was killed by the common cold. This may have been customary or preventative of the virus' spread.

The Monoid statue was ejected through the bay in order to stop the bomb within it from destroying the Ark. Its extreme weight meant that a Refusian had to carry it to the bay. It exploded shortly after ejection. (DW: The Ark)
