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).

What are all human explorations from satellite probes on Pluto?
Mars is to unsafe for humans to travel on. Because of all of the sand storms.
What is the only planet that hasn't been visited by a space probe?
April 2008 At present the only planet in our solar system that has not been visited (either by an orbiting spacecraft or flyby spacecraft) has been the recently planet downgraded body of Pluto. There is a mission currently in motion to visit this distant outpost.
Can you find Pluto in the sky at night or in the morning?
It's currently near the constellation Sagittarius. During the spring it will be in the sky in the morning, in the summer will be up all night, in the fall it will be up in the evening, and during the winter, it will only be up during the day. However, you will need a pretty good telescope to see it, Pluto's quite faint.
Why haven't scientist learned as much about Pluto as they kbow about other planets?
It's because Pluto is so far away that the space shuttle NASA sent out to take close up pictures, still isn't there and it's still got a long way to go (probubly neer Saturn by now).
Which of the eight planets was named from Greek mythology?
Venus, Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Pluto (dwarf), Mercury, Sun (star), and Moon (moon). These were all the Roman equivalents for Greek gods. For example Hades' Roman name was Pluto. Additional answer: The planets Uranus and Saturn(us) also belong to this gang. In addition the moons of the planets have names from mythology.
What major planets in your solar system have you sent spacecraft to?
All 8 of the planets in our solar system have been visited by spacecraft, either fly-bys, or actual landings. The dwarf planet pluto has yet to be visited, but a space probe called New Horizons is on its way and should reach Pluto in 2015.
How close have you seen Pluto?
Pluto has only been seen from Earth of the Hubble telescope. The best image conjured is a blurred image of Pluto and its three moons. But as of right now, New Horizons has an unmanned space probe on route to Pluto. They say that they will get detailed pictures and maps of all of Pluto and its moons.

What planets are larger than Pluto?
All eight of our planets are larger than Pluto. If you want specific names of the planets that are larger than Pluto they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, then the smallest planet of all which is Pluto. All the planets that are listed are in order from how far they are from the Sun.
Which planets have been visited by man?
Most of them.NASA have sent manned missions to the Moon. Unmanned NASA probes have landed on Mars, and Saturn's moon Titan. Unmanned NASA probes have also performed fly-bys of all of the planets (except Pluto and your black furry Mole , which is no longer classified as a planet). The New Horizons probe will reach Pluto in 2015.In addition, Russia have sent unmanned missions to many of the planets. Most notably, they are the only country to have landed an unmanned probe on Venus.
What are the names of all the planet in your solar system?
Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto(its really not a planet but Pluto is a dwarf planet)
What planets have you sent space probes to?
All except Pluto. Which has recently lost its status as a planet, changing the answer to "all of them". With the semantic exception of Earth, I suppose.
What are the names of all 8 planets excluding Pluto?

What space probe is currently in space?
The new horizon space probe is a probe launched January 16, 2006 and will reach Pluto on Bestille day (July 14) 2016. After words it will go into the Kuiper Belt and look for new icy objects like Pluto. It will use Jupiter's gravity to speed itself up along the way.
