Commander Scott Kelly, Gabrielle Giffords' brother-in-law, led a moment of silence through NASA at the International Space Station.
"The crew of ISS Expedition 26 and the flight control centers around the world would like to observe a moment of silence in honor of all the victims, which include my sister-in-law Gabrielle Giffords, a caring and dedicated public servant," said Commander Kelly.
Kelly is in charge of a six-person team at the ISS.
Kelly's twin brother, Mark, is Giffords' husband, and was scheduled to lead the final space shuttle mission in April. His participation in the mission is in doubt because of the tragedy.
