The new autographs in my collection are cosmonauts of the USSR

New in my collection are autographs of Soviet Hero-cosmonaut Anatoly Semyonovich Levchenko, Hero of the Soviet Union (1941-1988).

From 1977 he worked in the group of special training program "Buran". Test Pilot 1st Class (1979). In 1980 he was enrolled in the cosmonaut research team, from 1981 - the cosmonaut test team. Originally planned for the position of the backup crew commander for the first space flight of the Buran spacecraft, made several flights on a special copy of the Buran for horizontal flight tests.

Shortly after the flight, he became seriously ill: he developed a brain tumor, from which he died. Autographs of cosmonaut Levchenko are considered a rarity.
