Brief Explanations

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity (same speed and direction) unless acted upon by an external force. In space, far from other objects, there is no significant external force to change its motion.

Answer:

It will keep going at the same speed in the same direction.
