We propose a large array of many identical, small radio telescopes as an affordable way to increase the sensitivity of the DSN (Deep Space Network) by up to two orders of magnitude. This would allow much greater data returns from future missions, as well as new types of missions. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
