Charon, Nix, and Hydra are all near Pluto.
Charon is a natural satellite (or moon) of Pluto. It was discovered back in 1978 by James W. Christy.
The New Horizons space probe was the first spacecraft to explore Pluto. The mission to the minor planet happened in 2015.
Scientists discovered two additional moons around Pluto, named Nix and Hydra, using images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2005. Analysis of these images showed two faint objects near Pluto that were later confirmed to be its moons. This discovery provided further insight into Pluto's complex satellite system.
Pluto's orbit is near the beginning of the Kuiper belt.
The New Horizons spacecraft explored Pluto. It launched in 2006 and conducted a flyby of Pluto in 2015, providing the first detailed images and data of the distant dwarf planet.
Not yet, the New Horizons is on its way.
Pluto is not a satellite. It is a dwarf planet that is the furthest from our Sun.

pioneers explored pluto
The first person to launch a satellite to Pluto was Bob Riley.
It takes 9 years, and the first satellite will reach Pluto in 2015. The satellite was launched on January 9, 2006. I cannot wait till we find out the deep secrets of Pluto...
Yes, there is a satellite that orbits around Pluto its name is Charon. Charon is half the size of Pluto, with a diameter of 1200km. Pluto and Charon orbit each other like double planets.
no it has not yet
Charon is a natural satellite of Pluto, but Pluto is a planetesimal, not a planet.
Are you think of Pluto? If so it remains a satellite but has been reclassified as a dwarf planet.
