When Apollo 13 had its mishap, the astronauts described it as an "undervolt"
astronaut: "We've had a MAIN B BUS UNDERVOLT."
Houston: "Roger. MAIN B UNDERVOLT."
...one and a half minutes later...
astronaut: "We got a MAIN BUS A UNDERVOLT now, too, showing."
Houston: "MAIN A UNDERVOLT."
Apparently the term "undervolt" has been used by NASA since 1970.
