What mission observed Pluto?
The New Horizons spacecraft, which completed its Pluto flyby in 2016.
What is the primary reason why Pluto flyby mission would be cheaper than a Pluto orbiter?
A flyby mission requires less fuel and a shorter duration of operation compared to an orbiter mission. Since a flyby does not need to enter orbit around Pluto, it can be completed with fewer resources and less time, resulting in lower overall costs.
What was the spacecraft called that landed on Pluto?
No spacecraft has ever landed on Pluto. The New Horizons spacecraft did a flyby (2015-2016) but did not land on the surface.
