The New Horizons probe, launched when Pluto was still a planet, was reclassified as a dwarf planet by the IAU. The probe, powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, is designed to operate in low-light conditions and is equipped with various instruments. It was launched at high speed and used Jupiter's gravity to shorten its journey to Pluto.
