Two reports discuss architecture of proposed small sciencecraft carrying scientific instruments on trajectory passing near Pluto and continuing into interstellar space. Emphasizes those aspects of design pertaining to compactness, efficiency, and small mass (dry mass less than 100 kg). System block diagram of sciencecraft divided into blocks for sensors, integrated microelectronics, and motive effectors.
