What spacecraft just went over Pluto?
None, yet. The New Horizons mission (a scientific probe) is on its way to Pluto. It crossed the orbit of Saturn on about 08 June 2008. It will reach Pluto in the year 2015. None, yet.
Has any spacecraft landed on Pluto?
Not yet, but the "New Horizons" space craft was launched in January 2006. It is expected to reach Pluto some time in 2015 if nothing goes wrong.
What was the first machine to go to Pluto and take pictures?
None have yet been to Pluto. The New Horizons spacecraft it currently heading towards it but will not get there until 2015.
How many robots went to Pluto?
No robots have been to Pluto just yet. However, come July 2015, the spacecraft New Horizons will arrive to study Pluto and it's moons.
When will Pluto rover get to Pluto?
There isn't any specific - Pluto is too small, there are asteroids bigger than it. It has been studied by craft flying past it - but since it's so far and so insignificant, there are no plans to study it in depth.
When did a probe go to Pluto?
No probes have been to Pluto yet, but the New Horizons probe is currently on the way there.
Has a satellite or probe been near Pluto?
Not yet, the New Horizons is on its way.

How many spacecraft have visited Pluto?
None, yet, although the "New Horizons" probe is on the way there now. It should make a fairly close pass by Pluto in July, 2015. It won't go into orbit; it's not possible to slow it down enough to enter orbit around such a tiny object. After that, the New Horizons probe will probably be tasked to swing by another Kuiper Belt object, but no decision as to which one has been announced.

Have humans or human-made objects traveled to by or on Pluto?
Not yet. The New Horizons space probe, launched in 2006, will fly by Pluto in June 2015. Humans themselves have only been as far as the moon.
Which planet its yet to be reached by a space probe?
Pluto is one such planet that has not yet been reached by a space probe.
Do any of Pluto's craters have names?
Not yet. Pluto is so small and far away that even our best telescopes can't get a good enough picture of it to see craters. That will change when the New Horizons probe passes by Pluto and takes some closer photos.
