Nano-radios.
So I had this idea a few years ago when the mars rovers went..well...roving.
Instead of requiring a powerful transmitter/receiver on earth, the plan was to sprinkle nano-tranmitter/receivers between here and there.* 'There' could be mars, the moon, etc.* the point being, that if they are small enough, and we can manufacture enough of them, then any larger space-based device can use them for communications.
Plus, the solar wind would push them out into the solar system effectively giving us greater coverage over time.
