"We anticipate we will be ready with the spacecraft by early March," Boeing CST-100 Vice President and Program Manager Mark Nappi said at a recent news conference alongside NASA officials.
"We will be ready at the beginning of March."
An exact date for the launch has yet to be set, Nappi said.
However, Boeing and NASA technicians have made great progress in redesigning a joint linking two parachutes for reentry on the vehicle, he added.
