Usually you wouldn't do this since even meager NTE ships can have months or years of endurance easily, but in this case I think the OP is modeling after the Buran-class orbiter which had a 15-20 day mission profile i.e. deployment time, so this is purely an RP design.

Using 500 ton and below size ships as early surveying vessels. Cheap and fast to build.
The three ship classes belong to the same program, each based on the original "Buran" class but updated with improvements in hull and range.
