Hibernation of spacecraft is an operating mode used when regular operations are suspended for an extended period of time but restarting is expected (unlike termination). On long duration and deep space missions it saves power or other limited resources and extends mission life.[1][2] The term is substantially similar to the hibernation mode used in computer power saving.
