Where does a space probe go?

Question

I mean like when the New Horizons mission is over and it passes the Kuiper Belt, wher does it go? Does it keep going until it gets sucked into a black hole. WHERE DOES IT GO??

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

Thats a great question...

do u  know it dosent go anw where, it wil just automatically burn itself on the orbit. or get Bust in the space then change into Ash thats it..

Answer 3

it will eventually leave the gravitational field of our sun, and enter iter-stellar space where it will drift until it is captured by another object gravity where it will be sucked into and  crash and burn.

Answer 4

Well, it probably will do the Energizer Bunny thing and keep going and going and going...  

In other words, it will fly outward and go into orbit around the center our Milky-Way galaxy, becoming, in effect, one of the "stars" of the MilkyWay.  Space is really, really vast, and the spaces between the stars are very, very empty, so the most likely thing that would happen is that it would simply continue to drift, all alone, forever.

But...

There's a very small chance that it could end up falling into orbit around another star, and an even smaller chance that it could end up smacking into a star or even planet or black hole, and an even smaller chance (we're talking really, ridiculously small chance) that it might get picked up by some as-yet-undetected space civilization.

In the early 1970s, when the Pioneer and Voyager space probes were launched, astronomers (notably Carl Sagan) argued that it might be nice to to send a message to the universe on the very remote chance that one of these space probes, destined for deep space, would get picked up.  

The Pioneer plaques contained images of a naked man and a woman (made modest by the erasure of a certain "line") and instructions on how to find Earth in relationship to several pulsars.    

The Voyager recordings were more elaborate and contained coded images, music, greetings in many languages, and instructions on how to decode all this (in as "universal" a manner as could be conceived).

As far as I know, the New Horizons has nothing but the names of a number of people who contributed to the project.

It is almost certain that these gestures have been made entirely for our own benefit, as a means of pondering what sort of message we'd want to give to the universe.

Answer 5

My guess would be Uranis

Answer 6

It will join Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2 in interstellar space.  And just keep going out forever until something with a large amount of gravity take a hold of it.  But before it makes it there it will pass through the Scattered disc, Heliopause and Oort cloud.
