Makemake is a dwarf planet in the outer region of our solar system, named after a deity of the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island. It was discovered in 2005 and is one of the largest objects in the Kuiper Belt. Makemake lacks a significant atmosphere and is covered in frozen methane, ethane, and nitrogen.
No. Makemake was discovered too recently for us to have sent anything there. It takes years to plan such a mission and would take years for a probe to visit something as far away as Makemake. The most distant object we have visited so far is Pluto.
Yes, Makemake is classified as a dwarf planet. It is located in the Kuiper Belt and was discovered in 2005. Makemake is one of the largest known trans-Neptunian objects and was officially designated as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2008.

FY9 is another name for the dwarf planet Makemake. Discovered March 31, 2005
No -- scientists have recently discovered a moon orbiting Makemake, for the moment known as MK-2. It is about 100 miles across. Ceres on the other hand has no moons.
