Interstellar Vehicle - "Arthur C. Clarke"
An Autonomous Interstellar Vehicle, the “Arhur C. Clarke”, is a 171 meter long Fusion Powered Spacecraft that travels between the Solar System and the Ries-Cooper System. Only two of the same spacecraft have been built, and are considered the peak of scientific exploration and studies of extrasolar systems.
The spacecrafts travel constantly in-and-out of the Star Systems with hard data stored in super computers, and the full trip takes 22 Earth Years. In the Cycle Trip, one ship arrives at "Blue Jupiter", the major planet of the Ries-Cooper system, and drops science probes for studies around the system, and then it immediately prepares to leave with fuel and the science probes from the previous trip.
While this is happening, the sister ship arrives at Neptune, and its unloaded of all its cargo, data and science probes. Its then refitted fully again, with new science probes and new data, with improved flight plans and science missions based on previous observations from the early mission, and departs Neptune.
(Side Note: yeah its basically a pocket ISV Venture Star)
