Both space station crews are observing April 12, an important space
anniversary. On this day in 1961, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the
first human launched into space. The space shuttle also launched for the
first time on this day in 1981. Previous International Space Station
cosmonauts sent their best wishes to all onboard the station from Moscow.

In addition to continuing their handover activities, the outgoing
Expedition 14 crew members are resizing and checking their U.S.
spacesuits and performing their daily exercise routine. The Expedition
15 crew is still familiarizing itself with station operations and
procedures.
