I wonder how they intend for the probe to actually communicate back to earth. Flying by Jupiter... The data downlink feed from New Horizons was about 38 kilobits per second. After the Pluto flyby... it was down to 2 kilobits per second and has been decreasing the further away it gets. Perhaps it could be done with laser? Having said that, I'd think the beams focus would be quite wide by the time it reaches earth. It would have to be both perfectly formed and aimed with absolute accuracy. (I don't work with lasers and may be off on this, so take this paragraph on principle rather than factual). Maybe with some form of quantum entanglement? Current forms of usable quantum communication still require mediums like fiber optics as far as I understand.
