Wow, I listen to the solutions they invented to hibernate the probe safely - to save on the electricity they had to hibernate it, but then it could have change orientation relative to sun, and wouldn't have enough energy to wake up.
So they disabled the orientation system to save energy, but first they made the probe rotate quickly to stabilise it like a gyroscope.
That's stuff from sci-fi books / Mc Gyver movie :)
