Launch infrastructure into orbit so that you can beam power to it. This way, the heavy powerplant can stay on the ground. Have an onboard RTG for the control systems and the science package. Then you don't even have to send power to a probe full-time. Even an intermittent boost with the available ISP will be an improvement. The orbital infrastructure could consist of mirrors, which would be relatively lightweight. |
