In 2272 Admiral Kirk used one of these pods (Travel pod 05) to ferry from the orbital office complex to the refitted USS Enterprise. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
In 2285, Sulu piloted such a vessel, carrying Kirk, Uhura and McCoy to the Enterprise for an inspection tour. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
The following year the former crew of the Enterprise was transported to their new home, the USS Enterprise, aboard a travel pod while the Enterprise was still docked in Earth Spacedock. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
