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.","wiki":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Levchenko","last_flight":"1987-12-21T11:18:03Z","first_flight":"1987-12-21T11:18:03Z","social_media_links":[],"flights_count":1,"landings_count":1,"spacewalks_count":0,"flights":[],"landings":[],"spacewalks":[]}
