None has ever visited Pluto
Voyager 1, now the most distant human-made object in the Universe.Voyager 1 is almost 70 times farther from the Sun than the Earth. Out there, the Sun is only 1/5,000th as bright as here on Earth. It is extremely cold, and there is little solar energy to keep the probe warm and to provide electrical power. As of December 7, 2007, Voyager 1 is over 15.67 terameters (15.67×1012 meters, or 15.67×109 km, 104.7 AU, 14.52 light-hours, or 9.79 billion miles) from the Sun

How many satellites are orbiting Pluto?
As of 2012, there are 4 known natural satellites (moons) of Pluto.Charon was discovered in 1978, Nix and Hydra in 2005, and the fourth moon, provisionally called S/2011P1, was found in 2011. Charon's diameter is over half that of Pluto, and the Pluto-Charon pair actually represent a co-orbiting binary system. Nix and Hydra are both much smaller, having diameters estimated at between 5% and 7% of Pluto's.There are no artificial satellites orbiting Pluto. The unmanned NASA probe "New Horizons" will pass near Pluto in 2015.
What other planets would you pass to get to Pluto?
From Earth:MarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune (However, because of the orbit of Pluto, you could encounter Pluto before Neptune)
What is the name of the telescope that passed Pluto?
It is due to pass Pluto on the 14th of July 2015 and its name is New Horizons.
What comet passes by Pluto?
Pluto is at the inner edge of the Kuiper belt, which is similar to the asteroid belt but with comets instead of asteroids. Therefore, millions of comets pass by Pluto.

What satellites does Pluto have?
Pluto has 5 known moons.CharonNixHydraS/2011 (134340) 1S/2012 (134340) 1(The last two haven't been given official names yet, though "Cerberus" and "Vulcan" have been suggested.) A man-made exploration probe, calledNew Horizons,will pass Pluto somewhere around 2015.

How do satellites pass information to people on the ground?
By means of radio communication.
What would you pass on a journey to Pluto?
Just about the entire solar system! Assuming your starting point is Earth, you would pass Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune before reaching Pluto.
What planets do you pass to get too Pluto?
mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune
What do you expect to see after you pass Pluto?
After the dwarf planet of Pluto, the solar system essentially ends. It is the beginning of interstellar space. Most of space is empty and dark.
