The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced, on Saturday, that the space capsule manufactured by Boeing and failed to reach the correct orbit to reach the International Space Station is "intact" in a stable orbit and is expected to land in New Mexico on Sunday morning.
The CST-100 Starliner capsule successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, but a failure of the timer prevented it from reaching the orbit, which would have put it on the road for docking with the space station.
NASA and Boeing officials told a news conference on Saturday that they are investigating why this happened.
"Entering and landing is not for the faint of heart. Don't be fooled, we still have something to prove here when entering tomorrow," said Boeing's deputy head of space, Jim Shelton.
The station's first test flight was a milestone for Boeing, which is competing with SpaceX for the manned space flight program.
SpaceX carried out a successful unmanned flight of Crew Dragon capsule to the space station in March.
