F9/Crew-7: Commander Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen, Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa and cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov plan to strap in early Tuesday for a dress rehearsal countdown mirroring the same launch-day timeline they'll follow Friday


Audio of the dress rehearsal being broadcast over the ISS Youtube feed caught me a little off guard when I was half asleep.  I vaguely remember discussion of some minor oxygen system issue, otherwise sounded successful.

Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

L-3 weather forecast. 85% 'Go' for August 25. 90% 'Go' for August 26 and August 27. All Additional Risk Criteria are Low.

This morning during dry dress rehearsal it sounds like the Dragon had an issue, but still were able to complete it. It's just after the 2 minute mark in this recording but I don't know enough about the vehicle to interpret what they are referring to.

The silence trimming function is still a bit too aggressive, so words / parts of the conversation are missing.
I re-recorded and attached the untrimmed audio.

When crew was ingressing for dry dress, 1 of 5 PPO2 (Partial Pressure O2) sensors offset high temporarily
The problem sensor eventually converged / got back "in family" with the other sensors
Vehicle maintained fault tolerance during the sensor issue
SpaceX reviewing for follow-up steps
Dry dress was completed normally

The raw data might still be accessible if you scroll back on the YouTube link - it goes back about 12 hours as I recall.
