I've been thinking of ways we can get such nanocraft to link up through 
self-assembly and form larger structures that can do more detailed 
observations and experiments. This could work even for visits to far off 
destinations still in the Solar System such as Kuiper belt objects like 
Pluto or the Oort cloud.

The main problem is getting the many objects flying independently and 
getting further apart the further out they go to gradually be drawn to each 
other and link up. Once they link up, I don't it would be to difficult to 
then get them to do self-assembly.

But it's that drawing together step that is the sticking point.

Finally, nanotechnology can now fulfill its potential to revolutionize 
21st-century technology, from the space elevator, to private, orbital 
launchers, to 'flying cars'.
This crowdfunding campaign is to prove it:

    Indeed, the hurdles range from how to create the laser array
    capable of accelerating a small payload off Earth to how to
    transmit data back to us over interstellar distances. These will
    be huge accomplishments, with reverberations throughout many
    fields of science and technology.

I was wondering how they were going to get comms back from such a
small package.  I guess the answer is they haven't exactly figured
that out yet.
