The NASA probe "New Horizons" was launched in 2006 to study Pluto, and it will reach the vicinity of the planet in 2015 (closest approach to Pluto on July 14 of that year)
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.
its moon, charon,orbits pluto.
Pluto has many features on it. One bieing highlands. Another being maria. And another being craters. those are some features on pluto, they are pretty much the same as our moons! :)
Yes. It was sent in 2006 and will get there in 2014.
Charon is a natural satellite (or moon) of Pluto. It was discovered back in 1978 by James W. Christy.
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.
Actually, no probes have ever been sent to Pluto. Even Voyager 1 and 2, which flew beyond the orbit of pluto in 1989, didn't do a fly-by of the planet (it was elsewhere in it's orbit at that time, and there were no plans to visit Pluto anyways).

For right now no. But the U.S has sent out a probe to get pictures from pluto
Yes. It was sent in 2006 and will get there in 2014.
no it is not
They have they sent it in 2005 and they said it should reach pluto by 2015
yes
New Horizons
pluto.... it spins clockwise...
They have sent a prob thingie to take pics about pluto. They do that to a lot of planets.
Not really, calling it something different hasn't physically changed anything.
They sent the New Horizons spacecraft, with no humans on board.
