Radiation and solar panels
It appears radiation will damage the solar panels. It is expected this 
will lead to progressively less power to the spacecraft over the 
mission, thus shortening the length of the mission. It would be 
interesting to know why the designers chose this vs. a nuclear powered 
craft which could last longer. -- GreenC 14:42, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
