Two very interesting proposals! How large will the solar panels need to be for Centaurus to get enough power out beyond Jupiter?

Probably the size of the arrays for some of the other proposals that have headed out that way on solar power.... ELF, for example - https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/bitstream/handle/2...15-4603_A1b.pdf

Hmm. Wonder how much the violently active nature of 29P will affect the risk evaluation of Chimera.
