This NASA Discovery mission is to be launched in June 2008 and will search for Earth-size and smaller planets. Launch was originally scheduled in 2007 but delayed by 8 months due to "funding constraints".

Testing: The complexity of modern spacecraft is amazing. Glad they're testing! For instance, the detector electronics box which turns analog signals from the CCDs into digital data has more than 22,000 electronic components.
