NASA administrator Michael Griffin said Tuesday that NASA is ready for the July shuttle launch.
Griffin's optimism contrasted with a panel set up to oversee NASA's resumption of shuttle flights.
The Return to Flight task force wrote in a report Monday that the space agency has failed to fully meet three of the 15 safety recommendations put forth by investigators of the Columbia accident.
NASA will give a final review on the shuttle's flight readiness and set a launch date for the newly retooled shuttle Discovery.
The aircraft has undergone many modifications in design following the Columbia disaster, in which all seven astronauts aboard were killed.
