I'm not sure. It's supposed to do a swing-by of Jupiter to get a gravity assist, but i dunno if it will examine it. For that matter it wont even be at Pluto for very long either. It will be going so fast (i think the fastest craft ever sent from our planet) that it wont be able to slow down enough to get into orbit around pluto. They'll have to get all their information in a very small window which lasts less than a day iirc. Then it'll continue on past pluto, hopefully still able to examine some things along the way.
