No. We got our first close-up look at Pluto when the New Horizons spacecraft made a flyby on July 14, 2015. It passed within 12,500 km of the Pluto-Charon system but could not orbit or land. The very high speed of the spacecraft got it to Pluto in "only" 9 years but with no way to slow down once it got there.
