What space probe visited Pluto and what year?
No Space Probes have currently visited Pluto. However NASA launched a space probe called New Horizons to take pictures of pluto and to discover more objects in the Kuiper Belt. New Horizons is expected to arrive at Pluto in July 2015.
Why don't space probes visit Pluto?
The only space probe to visit Pluto was the New Horizons spacecraft. It took 9 years to get there.
Is Neptune not going to be a planet anymore?
No. The notion of Neptune being disqualified as a planet is not even being discussed. The concerns that apply to Pluto do not apply to Neptune.
Why Pluto has been disqualified?
As a planet, I assume. This should have happened quite a while ago; it turns out that Pluto is much smaller than initially believed. (However, the current official definition of a planet is not directly related to its size or mass.)
What space missions have gone to Pluto?
none
