L-12: Our spacecraft was fuelled and is now ready for encapsulation into the rocket fairing. 2016 marks the 55th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s flight, so we get a special decal with his portrait on our rocket! We get one more look at our spacecraft before launch, for a final check on 11 November, before it is mounted on the rocket. Afterwards it is considered bad luck for us to see the complete module before launch, we send the backup crew for any more inspections. Photos: Roscosmos State Corporation
