{{Infobox about |title=hibernaculum |image3=[[File:Hibernation.jpg|thumb|268px|right]] |image2=[[File:Hibernation-closeup.jpg|thumb|213x213px|The control panel on a hibernation unit on ''Discovery 1''.]] |image=[[File:Don't_wake_them_up_now.jpg|thumb|296px|Suspended animation inside the Discovery 1 centrifuge. ]] |about=Three scientists went into hibernation aboard Discovery }} '''Hibernation pods''', or the '''hibernaculum''', is a personalized hibernation chamber that induces sleep or {{wp|suspended animation}}. They are first seen on the ''[[Discovery]]'' in the [[2001: A Space Odyssey film]]. The word ''hibernaculum'' is not used in the [[2001 novel]], but appears later in [[Arthur C. Clarke]]’s [[3001: The Final Odyssey]].<ref>{{3001novel|3}}.</ref> Use of hibernation pods appear throughout Clarke’s Space Odyssey series. ==Function== Hibernation pods are used to artificially induce sleep on selected crew personnel for lengthy space travel. The method conserves on food and expendables; and ensures that the team would be fresh and alert, and not fatigued.<ref>[[Arthur C. Clarke]]’s [[2001: A Space Odyssey]]</ref> ==2001: A Space Odyssey== [[File:HAL Malfunction.png|thumb|220x220px|left|HAL deactivates life support for the three hibernating scientists.]] In ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', three of the five-man crew of ''[[Discovery]]'', (Dr. Jack Kimball, Dr. Charles Hunter, and Dr. Victor Kaminsky) were placed in hibernation pods for their trip to [[Jupiter]]. Though this technique had been used on previous space efforts, it was the first time the astronauts were placed in hibernation before departure. The life-support of the three scientists is carefully monitored by the on-board HAL 9000 supercomputer, as well as the working crew of ''Discovery'', [[David Bowman |David Bowman]] and [[Frank Poole]]. All three are killed when [[HAL 9000]] shuts off their life-support systems in what he thinks is the best way, at the time, to defend himself. ==2010: Odyssey Two== In ''[[2010]]'', all three of the American astronauts (Heywood Floyd, [[Walter Curnow]], and [[Dr. Chandra]]) on board the Soviet vessel ''[[Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov]]'' were kept in similar hibernation pods until the ship reached Jupiter, with the exception of [[Heywood Floyd]], who was awoken two days early at the request of his government. ==Canon== <references/> [[Category:2001]] [[Category:2010]] [[Category:Technology]]
