I think it would really depend on just how much power the damn thing could produce. For example, it mentions sending back data from Voyager 1, and that’s great and all, but it seems like those transmitters would probably need more than what it could provide along with the science equipment. I would say to accomplish that you would either need a bigger version that produces more power or you would need some sort of super capacitor or something to store the charge in for short bursts at high power.
