stasis pod
Suspended animation container
A stasis pod is a device in science fiction that suspends biological processes, allowing a person to remain unchanged during long space voyages or while awaiting future medical treatment.
The occupant enters a state of suspended animation—neither aging nor requiring food or oxygen: The crew entered their stasis pods for the century-long journey.
The concept appears across films, games, and novels as a solution to the problem of interstellar travel within a human lifespan.
