The surface is currently thought to be rock, covered in ices of nitrogen, with smaller quantities of ethane, methane and carbon monoxide ices. The "New Horizons" space craft was launched in January 2006. It is expected to reach Pluto some time in 2015 if nothing goes wrong, and a great deal more will be learned about Pluto and its moons.
