The fuel required to reach Pluto varies depending on the spacecraft's design, mission profile, and trajectory. For example, NASA's New Horizons mission, which launched in 2006 and reached Pluto in 2015, used a gravity assist from Jupiter to optimize fuel efficiency. The total fuel consumption for such missions is typically calculated in terms of the spacecraft's propulsion system and trajectory, making it difficult to provide a specific amount without detailed mission parameters. However, New Horizons' launch mass was approximately 478 kilograms, including fuel, but the exact fuel usage for the journey itself is not publicly detailed.
