Or make satellites with relay capabilities? Why did they have to EOL Cassini when it had an RTG anyway?

  From https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/cassini/mission/grand-finale/overview/ https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/cassini/mission/grand-... "Having expended almost every bit of the rocket propellant it carried to Saturn, operators deliberately plunged Cassini into the planet to ensure Saturn's moons remain pristine for future exploration"

  A series of relays spread across the Jovian orbit would be an interesting way to mitigate the effects of the inverse square law on transmissions from extra-solar probes.
