  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.

• 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.
