It is not known if Pluto has other satellites besides its massive partner Charon. In the past, searches for additional satellites in the Pluto-Charon system have extended from the solar-tidal stability boundary ( \(\approx 90\) arcsec from Pluto) inward to about 1 arcsec from Pluto: Here we further
