all systems go
Everything checks out
All systems go indicates complete readiness to proceed, with everything functioning properly and no obstacles remaining.
The phrase comes from spaceflight, where launch requires confirmation that all technical systems are operational: We've got all systems go for launch.
It extends to any situation where preparations are complete: The wedding is tomorrow and it's all systems go.
