The way it appeared to me in '2001' & the way it was in the original 'Elite' game I played on my C64 was that the approaching 'ship matched rotation w/ the 'station, in which there was no "contra-rotating hob" to be seen (the 'station rotated as a single item, all together), & then, in 'Elite', your ship passed thru an opened portal into what must have been a vast 'hangar' area, while in '2001', as I recall, the 'ship just docked nose-first.
