Hibernation
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002828
A low-power operational mode for spacecraft or their subsystems, reducing energy consumption and extending operational life during periods of inactivity or when power resources are limited. This state minimizes wear on components and conserves onboard consumables. A spacecraft in hibernation typically maintains minimal functionality, awaiting commands to resume full operation.
