<P> Space probes have yet to reach the area of the Oort cloud . Voyager 1 , the fastest and farthest of the interplanetary space probes currently leaving the Solar System , will reach the Oort cloud in about 300 years and would take about 30,000 years to pass through it . However , around 2025 , the radioisotope thermoelectric generators on Voyager 1 will no longer supply enough power to operate any of its scientific instruments , preventing any exploration by Voyager 1 . The other four probes currently escaping the Solar System either are already or are predicted to be non-functional when they reach the Oort cloud ; however , it may be possible to find an object from the cloud that has been knocked into the inner Solar System . </P>
