Atanas, the following web-page and graph would give you an impression on how the 5 solar system leaving crafts are faring, distance over time, but doesnt give speed. Anyway, what you'd want to know is speed at infinity (from the Sun), i.e. the speed the probes will have when the Sun has no more gravitational influence on them.

That's exactly my question and I thinks it's the only relevant question when comparing the speeds of these spacecraft. -------------------- --Atanas
