Has anyone ever drawn any schematics for TOS-era/23rd century deep space probes?
I was recalling the VOY ep "Friendship One", with the early Earth probot starship by the same name:

It would seem logical that if Federation starships deployed probots in deep space, the ships would have to be compact enough to store, but be large enough (or expandable enough) to carry enough fuel to accomplish their mission(s), whatever that would be.
In "By Any Other Name", Spock suggests to Rojan that a robot ship could be sent to Kelva in the Andromeda galaxy. This seems to reiterate the notion of deep space probots.
