The flight was originally scheduled to take place in late 2021, but according to Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Senior Vice President Steve Lindsay, the COVID-19 pandemic played a major role in the delay. The specific launch date has not yet been named - everything will depend on the time by which the spacecraft will be fully ready, and on NASA, with which SNC has a contract for the delivery of cargo to the ISS.
