NASA scientists have announced that all the systems on the New Horizons probe that can be checked have been checked, and passed with flying colours. The only system untested is an imaging device that cannot be used while the probe is still exposed to high levels of sunlight. Once the probe reaches the Jupiter-slingshot stage of its journey next year, they can give it a trial run.

I was at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago they were touting the probe.
