It will reach pluto in 2014.
In 2006 NASA launched "New Horizons", a space probe targeted at Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. It is expected to reach Pluto in July 2015, depending on solar weather conditions. See the related link below.
It depends on how fast your rocket is going. There is a space probe on its way to Pluto now. It is called the New Horizons mission and it will be the first time we have sent a craft to Pluto. It was launched January 19, 2006 and it will arrive at Pluto in July of 2015. It is the fastest spacecraft ever launched yet it will still take 9 1/2 years to reach Pluto.
The space probe New Horizons was launched 19th January 2006, and is expected to arrive at Pluto 14th July 2015. A journey time of nearly 9 years 6 months.
With modern space crafts about 20 years but maybe in the future scientists well make a new space craft that well get us there a lot sooner.
About ten years. The New Horizons space probe was launched towards Pluto in 2006 and is expected to get there in 2015. It experienced the fasted launch speed from earth ever, though is now still only about halfway to Pluto.
The New Horizons spacecraft was launched on January 19, 2006, and should reach CPA (Closest Point of Approach) near Pluto on July 14, 2016. Because the probe is in free-fall, its velocity varies slightly minute to minute, as it reacts to the gravitational influences of the Sun and Jupiter. The running mission clock at http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/ will show you the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining.
No. The New Horizons space probe reach Pluto after a little less than 10 years of travel, though it was moving too fast to land or enter into orbit when it got there. To be able to enter orbit around Pluto the probe would have needed to be launched at a lower speed for a trip of about 12 years.
The only space probe to visit Pluto was the New Horizons spacecraft. It took 9 years to get there.

At what speed? - With current technology, it will take many years to go to the far-away parts of the Solar System. "New Horizons" is taking about 9 1/2 years to reach Pluto; Makemake is slightly farther away than Pluto, on average.

It takes 9 years, and the first satellite will reach Pluto in 2015. The satellite was launched on January 9, 2006. I cannot wait till we find out the deep secrets of Pluto...
Light years.

You would have to move at least 73000km/hr, or about 45300mph to reach Pluto in 9 years.
With modern space crafts about 20 years but maybe in the future scientists well make a new space craft that well get us there a lot sooner.
The NASA unmanned space probe "New Horizons" (launched in 2006) will arrive at Pluto in 2015. It is already past Saturn and will be taking long-range photos of Pluto over the next 6 years.
