cryonauts
Ice-preserved space explorers
Cryonauts are people who have been or intend to be cryonically preserved—frozen at death in hopes that future technology will revive them.
The term echoes astronaut, casting these individuals as travelers through time rather than space: The cryonauts at the facility wait in liquid nitrogen for a future that may never come.
