In December 1987, he occupied the third seat aboard the spacecraft Soyuz TM-4 to the space station Mir, and returned to Earth about a week later on Soyuz TM-3. His mission is sometimes called Mir LII-1, after the Gromov Flight Research Institute shorthand. In the year following his spaceflight, Levchenko died of a brain tumor, in the Nikolay Burdenko Neurosurgical Institute in Moscow.","profile_image":"https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/anatoli2520levchenko_image_20181129235328.jpeg","profile_image_thumbnail":"https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/255bauto255d__image_thumbnail_20240305190625.jpeg","wiki":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Levchenko","flights":[],"landings":[],"flights_count":1,"landings_count":1,"spacewalks_count":0,"last_flight":"1987-12-21T11:18:03Z","first_flight":"1987-12-21T11:18:03Z","spacewalks":[]}
