Pluto is the controversial ninth planet in the solar system; many astronomers think that it should be reclassified as a minor planet, trans-neptunian object, icy dwarf or merely the largest of the Plutinos. It has three natural satellites: Charon is the largest, and two smaller ones, S/2005 P1 and S/2005 P2, have only recently been discovered.
Pluto is not included in the standard Orbiter distribution, but an addon can be downloaded from Orbithangar.
