One day you will find yourself in a static defense mission fending off wave after wave of Grineer, Corpus, or Infested. Your job or goal is to keep the Core or Tenno Pod from being destroyed.
The Core/Pod starts off at 100% health. When it reaches zero you lose. Keep the Core/Pod above 0% health until an opportunity for extraction (every 5 waves) arises then you can win.
Sometimes the Core/Pod takes a very bad beating & near the end of an enemy wave it may be low in health. What you should do & what most vets try to do is keep one or two bad guys alive so the next wave of baddies isn't triggered. The Core/Pod will then regenerate its health back to 100%. THEN you can kill off the remaining baddies and your Core/Pod will be all good to go for the next wave.
Why is this very important? In the recent patch, if you fail a mission all your loot...the mods...the resources...all of it is forfeited. So imagine going 14 waves with all that loot...only to lose the mission in the 15th wave. All that loot is gone. All those resources you collected are gone. The only thing you keep is your XP (and I think affinity gains).
So put the odds in your favor and let the Core/Pod heal. Be AWARE of your situation and try not to be so trigger happy near the end of a wave without checking the status of the Core/Pod.
