Do Probes Get Destroyed After Excaping Kerbol?

[BryNov]

I am currently doing a voyager styled mission and i'm wondering if the deep space kraken destroys your probe after leaving kerbol. I tried it once in 1.1.3 and after a left Niedon (Outer planets mod) my probe randomly got destroyed, does this still happen or was that just random?

Welcome to the forums.

There is no predicting what happens to modded games. Some modded games incorporate other solar systems -- so in general, no, your craft is not destroyed.

In stock you can never leave Kerbol's SOI, and you can go outward forever.

But... I’ve spent hours designing my Jool 5 mission!

I have decided that I will just do a very high orbit around the sun cause I have more than enough fuel.

Nope, craft above solar escape velocity just keep going forever. You can't "leave" Kerbol as it's gravity well is infinite.

Only the Kraken knows what will (eventually) happen to them.
