It can't be put into hiberation any more than simply shutting it down (except for the command receiver) over the winter and praying that the batteries don't freeze -- which they probably will. They will, of course, try to contact it again come spring, but th odds are very much against success. Keep in mind that the only additional data they'll be getting from it after its first 2 months on the surface is meteorological (including visual observations of the skies and frost).
