[b]Resilience hatch closed for launch[/b] The hatch through which the SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts entered their Dragon spacecraft has been closed and a leak check is complete. An initial attempt at closing the hatch resulted in a minor pressure drop inside the capsule. Technicians reopened the Dragon and inspected the seals. Finding and removing a small piece of foreign object debris (FOD), the hatch was closed again and a second leak check verified that the spacecraft was holding pressure. Launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Resilience carrying Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi remains on track for 7:27 p.m. EDT (0027 GMT) from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39A.
