The satellite sent to explore Pluto was called Charon.
Charon is not the satellite on the way to Pluto. Charon is a satellite (moon) of Pluto. The satellite currently on the way to explore Pluto is called New Horizons. It is expected to arrive July, 2015.

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.

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.
