Earth Spacedock was a large Starfleet spacedock facility in Earth orbit, built sometime prior to 2285. It consisted of a vast interior, in which numerous starships could be berthed for service and repairs. (TOS movie: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, et al)

Earth Spacedock (or Starbase 1) was a United Federation of Planets facility active during at least the late 23rd century. It is a large, mushroom-shaped facility that included eight internal docking bays.

The Safe Haven-class facility was built in 2275. Spacedock was said to be the homeport for USS Enterprise. Its staff of engineers numbered about 1,000. (Orion Press: Liberation from Hell)
Earth Spacedock originated as the United Earth Transportation Hub and was used for commercial traffic to and from Earth. Sections were added on to the original structure over the decades, culminating in the familiar mushroom-shaped structure extant as early as 2250. (Star Trek novel: Collision Course)
In 2370, Admiral Daniel docked the USS Phoenix (NCC-65420) at the station to join a conference on Earth.
During this time, Captain Benjamin Maxwell was in command of the station - trying to redeem himself after his attacks aboard the USS Phoenix (NCC-65420) three years earlier. But upon happenstance, Commander Sith caught Maxwell leafing off information to the Maquis - forcing Sith to put an end to the transaction. Unfortunately, the incident lead Section 31 to get involved and attempt to capture and sell Maxwell to the Cardassians in return for allowing the USS Phoenix-X to be built in Cardassian space. Luckily Sith was able to recover Maxwell in time and bring him back to Starbase 01. ("The Recruited")
In mid-2374, the USS Swiftfire-A received extensive repairs at the spacedock, including the installation of a new warp core following a battle with Dominion forces. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "No Rest for the Wicked")
In 2376, spacedock was boarded by the Vendoth during the Battle of Sol. Forces from USS Swiftfire-A were deployed to assist in the defense of the station. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "United We Stand")
In 2383, Armond from the USS Phoenix-X contacted the station during his mission to save the tech-team at Earth. He spoke to the station from the advanced medical shuttle USS Angel Wing. (Star Trek: Phoenix-X: "Transphasic Meltdown")
