SpaceX's Kate Tice reports the closeout crew found a piece of foreign object debris on the hatch that may have caused the pressure drop during the earlier leak check.

SpaceX's ground team confirms the side hatch leak check was completed satisfactorily, and the measurements are consistent with readings during a countdown dress rehearsal last week.

"That's great news," replied NASA commander Mike Hopkins.

The closeout crew will get ready to depart the pad shortly.

T-minus 1 hour, 22 minutes. At the time of launch, the International Space Station will be flying 259 miles above Earth northeast of Syria. The launch time is set to align the Falcon 9's flight corridor with the space station's orbit.

SpaceX mission control just told the Dragon crew that the closeout team applied lubricant and removed debris from the hatch seal. Some discoloration near the Falcon 9 interstage appears to be caused by water condensation, and is not an issue for flight.

The SpaceX closeout crew has departed the crew access arm at pad 39A.
