I can not find NH's trajectory on ssd.jpl.nasa.gov and others..
Can anyone post it here?
Thanks!!

Ultimate Trajectory Question:

Will NH leave the solar system and continue outbound as Pioneer & Voyger have--- or eventually end up in a long 'comet-type' elipse around the sun?

Using the current positon and velocity from the "where is NH" page:

http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/mission/whereis_nh.php

And the standard gravitational parameter for the Sun, from Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_grav...ional_parameter

We can figure the "hyperbolic excess" (the velocity at infinity) which I estimate at 12.7 kps.

Or, in other words, "that baby's never coming back!"

This page has some other interesting equations:

Questions come to my feeble mind: how does the trajectory of the Sun around the Milky Way play into the escape velocities of spacecraft like the Voyagers, Pioneers and NH? At what point would it figure into the equation?
