Can a rocket reach Pluto?
Yes, a rocket could theoretically reach Pluto, but it would require a significant amount of time and advanced propulsion technology due to the immense distance between Earth and Pluto. As of now, no spacecraft has been sent directly to Pluto, but the New Horizons mission flew by Pluto in 2015 after a journey of almost 10 years.
How many years will it take to get a space probe to Pluto?
The space probe New Horizons was launched 19th January 2006, and is expected to arrive at Pluto 14th July 2015. A journey time of nearly 9 years 6 months.
How many days to get to Pluto?
It would take several years to reach Pluto by spacecraft due to its distance from Earth, which varies depending on the positions of both planets in their orbits. The fastest spacecraft, New Horizons, took about 9.5 years to reach Pluto after its launch in 2006.
Time required to travel to Pluto?
The time required to travel to Pluto depends on the spacecraft's speed and trajectory. For New Horizons, the fastest spacecraft to reach Pluto, it took approximately 9.5 years to travel the 3 billion miles from Earth to Pluto. Other spacecraft with different speeds and trajectories would take longer.
What is the probe to Pluto?
In 2006 NASA launched "New Horizons", a space probe targeted at Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. It is expected to reach Pluto in July 2015, depending on solar weather conditions. See the related link below.

New Horizons is on its way to Pluto and traveling at 16.26 km per sec How long will it take New Horizons to reach Pluto in seconds and years?
The New Horizons spacecraft was launched on January 19, 2006, and should reach CPA (Closest Point of Approach) near Pluto on July 14, 2016. Because the probe is in free-fall, its velocity varies slightly minute to minute, as it reacts to the gravitational influences of the Sun and Jupiter. The running mission clock at http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/ will show you the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining.
How many years will it take to get a space probe to Pluto?
The space probe New Horizons was launched 19th January 2006, and is expected to arrive at Pluto 14th July 2015. A journey time of nearly 9 years 6 months.
If you go to Pluto will it take 77 years on a rocket?
No. The New Horizons space probe reach Pluto after a little less than 10 years of travel, though it was moving too fast to land or enter into orbit when it got there. To be able to enter orbit around Pluto the probe would have needed to be launched at a lower speed for a trip of about 12 years.
How many days to get to Pluto?
It would take several years to reach Pluto by spacecraft due to its distance from Earth, which varies depending on the positions of both planets in their orbits. The fastest spacecraft, New Horizons, took about 9.5 years to reach Pluto after its launch in 2006.
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.
How long will it take to go from earth to make make?
At what speed? - With current technology, it will take many years to go to the far-away parts of the Solar System. "New Horizons" is taking about 9 1/2 years to reach Pluto; Makemake is slightly farther away than Pluto, on average.
How long will it take to get to charon?
There is a space probe on its way to Pluto and Charon (its largest moon) called New Horizons. Even as the fastest man made object to leave earth, it will still take 10 years or so to get there, arriving sometime in 2015.

The time required to travel to Pluto depends on the spacecraft's speed and trajectory. For New Horizons, the fastest spacecraft to reach Pluto, it took approximately 9.5 years to travel the 3 billion miles from Earth to Pluto.

How many years would it take for you to travel from the sun to Pluto?
The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is 4.4 billion kilometers, which means that light from the Sun always takes longer than 4 hours to reach Pluto. For a rocket vehicle travelling at the speed that astronauts went to our Moon (less than 40,000 km/hr), it would take over 12 years to reach Pluto!
How long does it take to get to Neptune from Pluto?
The distance between Neptune and Pluto varies as they orbit the Sun, but on average it is about 2.7 billion miles (4.4 billion kilometers). With current technology, a spacecraft traveling at the speed of New Horizons (about 36,373 mph or 58,540 km/h) would take approximately 85 years to reach Neptune from Pluto.
